I would disagree as well. XFCE would be way better for SLES, and very likely SLED too.
a graphical desktop on a SERVER?
no thanks.
Yes, sure. Doesn't mean you have to use it, but some people want to be modern and work at the server with a full desktop instead of the ancient console. >:-)
Not many. You can hardly get a monitor that'll fit in a 19" rack anymore. (except 2nd hand).
I have seen many servers just on tables :-) And then, some are in a rack, but with a nearby table and chair with a switch box to connect the single display/keyboard/mouse to one of the servers in the rack. Specially on the Windows world: Windows Server is designed to have a display. Once booted, and initial configuration done, you can access with a remote graphical desktop, but this spends one license and a lot of resources. So all I have seen have a seat. My little home server (Linux) refuses to boot without one: it prompts for the passphrase to the disk encryption, for ever. Does not time out. Can not ssh to enter it and continue the boot. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
