But surely the question is whether you need a desktop/distribution/gui-based 
machine at all if it's a server. Couldn't you just build up from the kernel, 
adding the necessary components, then shut it away somewhere doing its stuff 
without a keyboard or monitor? Put in the minimum amount, and there's less to 
go wrong.
