In one word... YES!. If you're going to learn your way around Linux 
well, why not start with something that doesn't teach you rely on GUIs 
and crap like that. When it all goes south, you're left iwth a command 
line. I guess I'm from the school that started wtih computer back where 
there was no GUI. The closest thing I had to a GUI was an ncurses like 
system, that really didn't work all that well.
