Back to this: 50Mb is quite impressive, but that still includes a GUI. I'm confused: I thought as it's all based on a command line OS, and command line only version ought to be easy to find.

You could download the source, comment out the GUI bits, then build it yourself

I downloaded FreeBSD and it is primarily command line. You can install X with GNOME if you like but it isn't necessary.

I had thought that most Linux distributions could do the same. I would think you go into the config files...in /etc/rc.d (or whatever) and remove the GUI bits..or uninstall the GUI. Ubuntu does come in a server version I think.

Just set it to start at run level 3 in /etc/inittab and it will start without the GUI. Run level 5 will start it with the GUI. http://www.networkclue.com/os/Linux/run-levels.aspx
