You kind of got sidetracked that it was so easy to get root access on a Kobo that you missed the main point of the thread IMO, and that's that eReaders running Linux don't really run Linux in the same way as a Ubuntu install or Fedora.
The CLI is pretty much the same as the first Linux version I ran and I don't have to boot from a couple of floppies to get there. Considering that I now use a CLI to manage most of the Windows and Linux servers I work with, I actually don't spend that much time use a GUI anymore.
