Server v. desktop

[Macario Valle]

As i understood, might not be right, the kernel and headers are compiled
a little bit tighter, and with no support for a lot of desktop hardware.
This would translate on better performance, but then, I might be wrong.
I would never put X on a server as it is too resource hungry and would
slow down the other services.  Managing lamp can be done through a web
interface for the most part anyways.  I ussually use ssh and a web gui
combination.
On the other hand if the outfit does not need that much on the ways of
resources, I would just take out the X server after making sure there is
web and ssh managing capabilities, and forget about changing to the
server kernel, as that could just go wrong in so many ways, and means a
down time your client might no be willing to allow.
I must mention that I have done this setup only with Red Hat.
