I thought about it a bit and I can see valid reasons for an experienced sysadmin to install a full desktop on SLES: 1) If you want to use it for a desktop workstation (You lost all your SUSE Linux or NLD media or something) :-)
2) You set up a LTSP server where people will run desktops from dumb terminals.
3) To run Matrix screensaver. 4) Management that was barely convinced to setup a Linux proxy server can walk by and say things like: "Wow ... look at that thing ... It's just working away like crazy" due to reason 3. Seriously, the above company has since had me replace their NT file server with Linux ... yes ... it has the screensaver too. I don't have the heart to tell the guy what it is at this point. -- Louis Richards
