As long as you can ssh into it, you can run any of the mandrake gui tools.

Even if you install it, you can change the runlevel to boot gui-less. You may need some of the X libs and QT and/or GTK libs to launch X apps, even if they display on a remote box. You won't need a high-specced box, just need enough room for X on the HD. Yuri
