This is a _very_ green question, but I am just beginning to explore and learn Linux. Have to admit I avoided it for years due to other obligations but discovering Asterisk has forced my hand.

So: knowing that the X11 window GUI is a resource hog, is it appropriate to use the GUI to install and configure various components, then set RUNLEVEL to 3 once all is nicely set up and running cleanly? Would this give the same effect as doing a minimal install or is the mere presence of the installed (yet not inited?) packages too heavy?

Corollary: if Asterisk is running as ROOT, is there any benefit to booting at RUNLEVEL 1 to prune the overhead down even further? Or is that really only for debugging or administrative issues?

Thanks,
/rg
