Command line server 2008.  Like a linux server it is nice for open source.  Just wondering if there are any quirks i should look for??  I like it so far.  Forcing me back to my command lione roots    its secure

Why did you buy a Windows Server then?
I bought it because it is faster and more efficient to use the GUI.
If i wanted to have a CLI like *nix i would have bought a *nix OS.
it does not make the server any more secure, all the hacking scripts run on the CLI level any way.
hacker on't use a GUI

i hear ya it was more of a client decision than mine.  i would have ran linux mandrake server and set up the database that way IDK some folks like microsft i guess.  There is always the option to upgrade back to the GUI and retain and software uinstalled with 08 so it is one of those wait and see what the client wants or if they change their minds gotta love the customer service attitude front u have to put up  LOL
