No Freecell at all.  The only way that could happen given the current situation
is if there is an X-server on the LAN(s).  I am not doing that at the moment
and haven't decided whether or not I really want to.  I might change my mind
sometime in the future though.

So?  Generally everything *IS* better on the commandline, even graphically
orientated output.  Just drop on by with some of that Belgian beer and I'll be
happy to prove it to you.  I am willing to bet that you have never seen
anything like what is running here and that it can compete, and I think easily
beat, what others have running on a GUI hardware-wise.  Software?  That is a
bit of different issue given that I could care less about wordprocessing and
other office type software.  Gimp?  I doubt I'll ever worry about it.  I tried
and failed but at least I tried.  No big deal to me really.  Perhaps if it was
I may have put in the time to get it working.

Yep.  See above.

I don't see why.  Nothing going on there of any interest.  Perhaps if they
could compile and take care of themselves that might be interesting ... maybe
... I doubt it though.

Sounds good.  Enjoy!
