I would advise against installing X11 on a server unless the server is
intended for use as a remote-desktop-ish server. It's a total waste of
resources, and you are much better off using SSH for remote
administration (more reliable & secure, client is more common, lower
bandwidth overhead, etc.). I personally use Slackware minus the x, xap,
kde, and kdei package sets on my servers.
