oh ok, so I'm in the wrong part of a city it looks like.

I guess the question is. I'm looking for something without a GUI for the most part. Where I have to do everything from scratch in a sense. If I want to open up an internet browser it has to be from the command line.

I have to run a command to play Starcraft 2.
I have to run a command to get to you Youtube.com.
I have to run a certain command to open up a port or connect to a network.

Simple daily tasks. Am I in the wrong area? Somewhere to really explore without a GUI.

I guess I kind of had the wrong idea of Unix. I thought it would be an operating system I could install in a way, but it's more or so the make up of entire computer?

Would I be better off looking at a Linux based OS without a GUI?

Should I clarify I'm looking for a Unix based OS without a GUI? Does that help?

   Input Method (GUI)

       Input method support on window systems.

Detailed Description
       API provided by libm17n-gui.so.

       GUI support for a window system.

       This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system.

       All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For
       instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System.

       Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
