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. >:-)
A GUI on a server should not be necessary. It only increases software size on the server, hence increases maintenance and decreases robustness and stability.
Millions of people disagree :-P If you refuse to give then the GUI, they will stay with Windows. What many people do is handle the server remotely from another machine, graphically. But on many small places I have been, the server has full keyboard and display (with mouse, of course), and of course, it is used graphically and directly, not remotely. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
