Well a GUI EATS up resources, some with fervor (GNOME/KDE). In an ideal scene
you would only have exactly what you need on a server. Thus not leaving any
extra possibilites for holes, or extra tools for a hacker to use.
You really should have two boxes to run that way though.

Hmm. Odd, you must have lost a few things that way. Like UDMA and ability to
run your drive at 133 MHz.
My chipset was not supported until recently (VIA 8237) and I lost UDMA.

To burn an iso image you need to use the pulldown menu... Drag and drop does
not detect and or ask if it's an image.
