Using Linux in text mode(Minimal system mode)





With most Linux distributions an alternate CD or a server CD is provided, which can install a Linux environment in minimal text mode.

Advantages of such a system:

Stability: Since there are no graphics on such a system, the risk of failure is very low. And if you install the OS at the beginning of your drive, it will always be the first partition, so it will always be accessible to bootloader. This is useful for changing the partition table.

Performance: 1 GB is more than enough to install system in text mode, with many software, also the system will be faster as the use of memory is limited.

Safety: less software, less fault, true as long as the system is properly configured.

Versatility: The system can serve as a backup system for your computer, but also be used to chat with centericq or listen to music with moc.
