When using views to create a list of nodes, how can I eliminate the link from the node title?
When you select node style, it uses your node.tpl.php file to create the node, so if that has a link in the title, it's gonna be there.  You can choose the "style" of node, eg, teaser or full, to change this behavior, and include or not include links and comments, etc.  Or, as you ask, go to Fields and have a lot more flexibility.
