I've used only the console in Linux so far, and would be glad to keep doing it. I know of no text-based way to use OpenOffice or any of its components, though, or to do what it does. I'm told it t does a pretty good job of reading documents produced by Microshaft Office programs, and of creating documents that those programs can read. That can be important.
If I'm mistaken about the lack of such text-based access, I'd be grateful for correction.

Hi Zack,
In fact, I don't know if the term "desktop" aplies to people who prefer
command line programs rather than graphical ones, but I really think there
is no reason to use a graphical environment, since text mode is faster and I
think there are console programs for any task.
For blind users, perhaps the only difference is that in text mode you should
memorize some command strings instead of key strokes. Nothing's hard, to me
at least...
Cheers,
Cleverson
