The RHCE exam which I just completed allows you to use anything that is
available as a package in RHEL5 to accomplish your tasks.  The few
seconds it takes to fire up gnome desktop vs logging in at the shell was
eaten up quite quickly by being able to have a browser open to local
documents, a few gnome-terminal tabs open for man pages, local machine
file editing, remote shell for testing things back, graphical tools to
accomplish tedious tasks, etc...

I was one of the first to finish and I used a graphical console for
everything (except for repairing the boot loader but I didn't need to
mess with UTF-8 package names to fix the boot loader)
