Would dropping X altogether hurt? [closed]

I live in the linux terminal all the time under my slackware GNU/linux system (an EeePC). By default, GNU Emacs won't start if It can't find several Xorg libraries. Assuming I will never use X software at all, would it make sense for me to drop all this Xorg stuff and compile emacs again ?

Are you aware of anything that could get me into troubles or making GNU Emacs not working at all ? Are there any advantage for me to keep all these dependencies ?

I am asking since as said, my main box is an eeepc with little storage and I am dangerously hitting the limits ;-)

At the very least, what would be smallest and minimal Xorg libraries one should keep to launch xterm (with a deported display) ?

Regards

Can your sphincter fall out?

If the rectum drops out of its normal place within the body and pushes out of the anal opening, the condition is called rectal prolapse. In the early stages, a prolapse may happen only after a bowel movement. The protruding rectum may then slip back through the anal canal on its own.

Can a fractured elbow heal itself?

This kind of injury should not be dealt with on your own. It's critical that anyone who has potentially fractured an elbow see a doctor as soon as possible. There is a risk of permanent damage if the injury is not properly tended to.

How do I know if my elbow injury is serious?

Call your doctor right away if you have:Severe pain, swelling and bruising around the joint. Trouble moving your elbow normally, using your arm or turning your arm from palm up to palm down and vice versa.

Do all elbow fractures require surgery?

Treatment depends on the type of elbow fracture you have and the severity of your condition. For non-displaced elbow fractures, non-surgical options effectively treat the fracture. Displaced elbow fractures usually require surgery to repair the fracture and reconstruction of ligaments and tendons, if necessary.

You should be fine building an Emacs without X as long as you're happy having it locked up inside a terminal.

On several (remote) machines I work on, I've always installed/built Emacs without X-Windows for similar reasons.
