makes it easier to google for the solution to the problem you are having while sitting at the console, but I guess the answer to that would be you are connected via ssh from your desktop in your office. - that has a GUI.<br>
<br>But honestly, I've been in the server room at the console, and was really happy that the machine I was currently working on had firefox for googling, and I didn't have to switch the kvm over to a windows box so I could hit google. xwindows doesn't really slow the computer down, especially when idle.<br>

Ubuntu has the right idea. (So does SLES, by the way.)<br>

<div>Last time I installed Ubuntu server, the default install was no GUI. Instead, I installed the "desktop" version of 10.04 and added what I needed with aptitude.<br>
<br>
Its running LAMP + Samba in a production environment.<br>

Ok, I'm downloading Ubuntu Server, and I'll bring it over tomorrow to<br>
try. (My pipe is bigger than yours. ;-)<br>
<br>
And, it's free (without support contract). I'll look for the Landscape<br>
thingy when I get it.<br>
