I read all this stuff and will keep it for an installation guide. Running 
all as read only would be a bit rough, but I do not change things that 
often and it may work. But how do you change things when you want to such 
as password or profile or something like that if it is mounted read only 
all the time?

You know, I will really have to give up the gui on this machine. I have 
used it for play and experiment in addition to server for so long that I 
can skip X windows now. Been there, done that, don't use it much anymore. 
I do love compiz, wish they would put that in MS Windows, it is such a 
neat 3D desktop, but it is a novelty and I really do not use it much. 
Xwindows is too slow on this machine to really be usable and most of the 
applicatons I use are all MS based. They do not make good games and 
software for Linux, although developers really do try hard. I do not mean 
all software but the GUI stuff is a compromise always. So you are right, 
I really have to stop with the GIU and just use command line and ssh. 
Thanks for the heads up.
