I completely agree. a gui just puts more load on the processor. You would be
better off either using no gui or a very slim gui if you are serving to a
 lot of people.

I have had problems with ubuntu 9.04 (server) on my compaq prolient dl360
(appearently the motherboard or somethjing in that computer can not handle
grub. it is kind of an old server..so i have to use LiLo). I use debian on
my server (and pretty much all the servers i use) and it works great!

I used openSuse (9 and 11) and just flat out hated it. it would freeze every
couple of minutes or so after i booted it (ran great on virtualbox though)
