Re:Linux has always had "safe mode". (Score 1)

Even from the CLI you can access the web. When my Xorg.conf was screwed up I used e-links, a text-based web browser, to find out how to use vi. That was with a wireless connection to a secured network so the only thing that isn't functioning is the pretty frontend to linux. When the GUI in linux is gone, all other services that don't depend on the GUI still run. But to your standard computer user the command line can seem intimidating, and if expected to be of everyday use in millions of homes and businesses should have a graphical way to solve problems. So to answer your question, it should be standard in the safe-mode.
