Probably I missed it somewhere...
Does "Firewall box" or "FTP server" installs X as well?!..
I will be very surprised.
As far as I know, there are no "Firewall configuration" or "FTP server
configuration/settings" programs, neither in GNome not KDE2.
What a pity!..
If they were present, may be, I could agree on X install on server box.
