Linux Command Line Only
What are the versions that only feature the command line? I have an old laptop that i am hoping will run it.

Thanks

any linux distribution can be installed without X with it was what you wanted to know..

Installing X will give you the GUI

You can use Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, or any other distro that you would like.

Well, this computer has only a floppy and about a 500mb hard drive, so are they small enough? Or are there older and much smaller versions?
