None of my servers run X either. However things like libvirtd was meant to be run on headless servers. Which you connect to via a machine with a graphical desktop. Thus your workstation has X on it, and you run virt-manager on that, connecting to your headless servers via libvirtd. Now libvirtd is HORRIBLE about keeping connections open even after the client closes/ends the session. They are not reused either. I find myself at times killing off extra libvirtd processes/socket connections that are not longer in use. Hopefully thats just a bug and will be corrected as some point. In other scenarios, like when Kyle did the presentation on kvm, cloud, etc. One of the systems you were setting up was an administration system. Which had X on it, but that was not a server. Well sort a monitoring server, but I think even for the administration. You were running a few vms. Its been a bit since the presentation, going from memory. -- William L.
