I run Debian on my non-graphical server, and every so often when I want 
to install a particular package I find it trying to pull in the X 
stuff... seeing as it's definitely restricted on disk space, I can't 
really afford that.

(Anyone know a source of good, cheap 2.5" disk drives? Or Firewire 
drives? That machine, a P166 with 48MB and 2GB of disk space, is 
definitely feeling pushed these days...)

BTW, if you're interested in *real* window managers, check out ion: 
http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/. It's a tiled window manager. I 
find it incredibly useful.)
