   Another place to look is enterprise level computing.   
      
   If supporting processes on a server, more then likely   
   you are using a command line supporting the processes.   
      
   For example, I developed/supported an ERP system running   
   on AIX, it was command line only.  Lucky for me, my   
   workstation at the time was RHEL, so X-forwarding was   
   available.  But the tools were all command-line, so a GUI   
   was not an option..
