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).
Monitor or not says nothing about GUI or non-GUI. KVM switches or KVM via iAMT or ipmi are very common for servers and are actually nothing else than remote monitors. Even all my qemu VMs have virtual graphic boards and monitors (via VNC) which I use sometimes to access the console in case of trouble or for initial installation. This works often better than serial console. Actually I have not a single VM or real server without graphic/Monitor (except some openWRT routers with serial console only). But I have even servers where GUI/WM is running. Sometimes you have to use proprietary software which comes with GUI only. Moreover although I always try to avoid GUI for myself. I can understand that non-experienced admins want to have a GUI instead of terminal. And this is not only about X. Webmin or phpmyadmin are also GUIs ... made for nothing else but servers. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
