[ale] mount issue

Mon Oct 19 08:47:15 EDT 2015

You can install the GUI on RHEL/CentOS Servers – it’s just not the default.

If you install the GUI you can use Ctrl-Alt-F1, (F2, F3, etc…) to go to virtual CLI sessions that don’t require you to use the GUI for console login.

There's a server install with no gui as well as a workstation install and a minimal install.

Gnome?  Isn't Cent a server OS?
My Cent7 install doesn't have any GUI. I am pretty new at Cent.
