On servers there is no need for a GUI. Often corporate production servers are accessed via ssh logins and admins of those servers use light-weight mail clients such as pine, alpine, mutt, etc., to access mail. That's the beauty of Linux; a multitude of ways to accomplish any given task.
isn't using a server to read your mail generally frowned upon from a security standpoint? (ie, shouldn't those admins be reading their mail on their workstations instead?)
I alway used an alias to forward the system (and root) mail to my local mail account. That way I would see almost immediately if there was a problem on one of the servers. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
