Servers shouldn't have GUIs.

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

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.

Its running LAMP + Samba in a production environment.

Ok, I'm downloading Ubuntu Server, and I'll bring it over tomorrow to
try. (My pipe is bigger than yours. ;-)

And, it's free (without support contract). I'll look for the Landscape
thingy when I get it.
