    DudeBoyz - "boot" to a command line? On a server? Why would you ever want to have to boot a server anymore? When your server is running one or more resources that need to be up and available, the idea of booting a system just for doing administrative work is ridiculous.

    Exampe - Even Microsoft (disclaimer: I work for 'em) improved the Server in 2008, with the ability to simply stop the AD Directory Service on a running domain controller in order to defragment or check the integrity or move the directory database to a new location. Previously you had to "boot" the server into a special administrative mode to do this... which means that if server is also a DHCP or DNS or file server or any other role.. well, too bad. And that's unacceptable in today's datacenters.
