All Mac OS X installations too. :-)
Actually Macs have a server edition and althougth I never saw that I
think it doesn't have a gui:

Nope. Take a look at the Getting Started Manual:

The idea of just point and click is originally an Apple idea. It was
part of the idea "one computer if each house", which was revolutionary
for the time!
Also, I read somewhere that Microsoft recently launched or at least
made a beta of a new revolutionary Windows Server.
The great inovation? It doesn't have a GUI, so it's more stable
Knowing a bit Redmond people, I'm afraid it's MSDos based! ;-)
Having said that I have also seen Linux and FreeBSD servers with GUI
(KDE) running 24/7. I personally think the technicians were lazy, but
it seamed to work well.
Our Linux based company servers have KDE running 24/7, so that unskilled
people can check daily backups, and do other minor things, clicking on a
few dedicated icons on the desktop. No problem whatsoever. Uptime
depends only on kernel updates.
