Mike:
It is certainly possible to have a GUI; using a GUI is the documented way to
install SUSE / SLES. I've done that under Hercules,
and yes it took hours! If your need for the GUI is to do config/admin rather
than to run GUI intensive apps, then why not.
In that regard, I can suggest a rpm package called "webmin" , this is much
better than editing configs manually. Webmin is for
remote admin and config of any Linux box via a web browser, but there is also
the default of "yast" under SLES that does cover z/linux stuff too.
