Are you planning on having an identical "QA" system that you use to
test config changes, security patches, etc. And are you planning on
NOT installing X.
If so, I would be comfortable with openSuse from my experience. If you
can't run a lamp server without X or you don't plan to have a
dedicated identical test system to test rollouts, patches, etc. I
personally don't think you should be selling any sort of service.
FYI: On the servers I have inhouse, I have X installed and if I want
to access the gui, I run startx, but in general they are CLI only. I
don't recall X ever killing the CLI function, but I have definitely
had X / KDE functionality issues.
