Yeah, but I think I understood (and Betty will correct me if I'm wrong)
that there was no monitor/keyboard available for this server beyond what
is needed for the install, that all subsequent interactions would be
through ssh and a terminal window. Given that I didn't want to spend
anytime in getting X set up, and I was also thinking that it would be
one less package to worry about updates ... however, should there be
display/input hardware for the server, well, that would change things :)
