To repond to the Gui interface for server.
I work daily as administrator, I have Ubuntu as internet/firewall
server. I think its easier with gui interface like LXDE. Because if I do
it in console I have to go to the forum again to get the instruction for
the setup and all that stuff and ofcourse I always forget something like
installing DHCP-server, maskirq something package in the apt. And I see
alot of people with the same profession has the same problems.And there
is allot of server with sort kind gui interface like PF-sense but its
webbased its very good.As David said it the early mail to have soho
server on a netbook. I had a situation where I needed a laptop to
replace the email server. And its amaze me again how powerfull linux can
be but the time to build up and finding other info costed me time. But
in my opinion it will be nice to have LXDE on server edition with some
programs and tutorials and sample to help out the daily problem. Even an
average administrators with good scenarios doesnt always work out the
problems in my cases specially newbies. A server on a flashdisk will be
nice in critical situation. Just plug in start the pc and take over the
network.
In a flash I remember article about Media Entertainment Server
Geexbox... A server, you can listen to the music and watch tv channels
like MythTv and if you have a tv tuner it will be great.. If I am
correct you can do even videostreaming thru wirelles to other pc's at
home... I guess its possible to install LXDE on the server so if you
acces your server you will get LXDE on your pc or other gadget and do
something with your files,printing or whatever its is just like in a
Unix terminals in the 80's and 90's.Ltsp, David you talked about that I
guess its something to do with it...
Thanks for reading,

I agree with David. Also anyone who is performing these highly
specialized installations is certainly going to have the knowledge
required to open the command line and "sudo apt-get whatever gui or
lack thereof" he/she wants.

I actually was not suggesting there should be such a remix. I was
suggesting however that one could potentially do this with mini-iso
install by selecting them explicitly at install time if we have lxde
desktop as a task in mini-iso. And yes, one could do a server install
and add lxde/lubuntu after. It can in some cases be useful to have a
local server gui console. Another interesting scenario is ltsp.
