RHCSA without using GUI at all?

Hi,
new year, new cert or at least the intention to get a new cert. I am about to embark on studying for the RHCSA. I would like to stay away from the GUI and use CLI only (anything Linux based I've done, while minimal, has been using CLI only). I do not wish to spend any time on the GUI side of things, I'd much prefer to invest that time working with the command line. I read a previous post where someone learned to do everything with both GUI and CLI.
Is this possible and / or unwise? Appreciate your thoughts on this matter.
TIA.

There are some text-based tools that are quite helpful (system-config-*) but CLI will be fine.
Goal for 2014: RHCA
Goal for 2015: CCDP
but everything from CLI is much quicker, once you memorize the command - you have an advantage time-wise.
You're not going to find too many jobs dealing with linux that involve using a GUI as linux is widely used as a server platform. That's not to say that those kinds of jobs aren't out there. My last job was working with linux point of sales systems so they ran GUIs and I was very familiar with the system-config tools and the xorg.conf but now I work with web servers and our customers rarely have GUIs unless we have a customer who's used to having Windows servers but they thought they'd try linux because it's free but couldn't figure out how to use it so they had us install a GUI. We tell them to use plesk since the server usually comes with it but they insist on having KDE or gnome.
How did you manage to get LPIC-3...wow that is really awesome...i mean you should have RHCE by now then..howcome you only have RHCSA?
How was the LPIC-3 exam?
One thing i hate about LPIC exams is that they make one do many exams to get one certification thereby making one pay more money and also their multiple choice exam is stupid quite frankly
There are some tasks for which it is not practical to use CLI for configuration. Too easy to make an error, and then you need time to troubleshoot. I would suggest people use ssh connection to their environment and ncurses tools (system-config-*-tui, authconfig-tui).
As a matter of fact my RHCE exam is on March 20th, 2 weeks from now.
for your RHCSA / RHCE journey you can assist my blog (signature) I have included many things that will definitely help you with your preparations.
I'm excited to hear they give you a GUI at all on the RHCSA exam. Now I know I shouldn't have trouble getting up to speed for it.
