I was trying avoiding this discussion, but I can't anymore :) What's the purpose of fluxbox, openbox, xfce, enlightenment (etc...) on server? It's not like you have some point and click application for setting up apache virtual website or psotfix transport tables. Even GNOME and KDE don't have flexible applications for server management. Still, if someone really wants (for some strange reason) X window system on server, I see more reasons to install full GNOME or KDE, than some X window manager just for xterm. Having some small footprint window manager and then open 10-15 xterm sessions with vim running is kind of dumb :) It's much better to just ssh to server. Or even, set up ssh GVFS/KIO inside (k)ubuntu desktop and edit files with gedit, if vim is to complicated :) -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
