   Why? Because Microsoft won't let vendors run XP Home, or Windows 7,on

   Microsoft in the rump.

the cli is disabled.  ???
You can install another distro as an advanced user.

Of course.  But it still makes one wonder why HP would disable the CLI.
You just about have to have the CLI for linux.

   If you are stuck in the old school mindset perhaps.

   It may not necessarily be the case anymore.


The only way is to have a very comprehensive admin gui.
