In my humble experience, I think there are 2 distinct aspects to this issue. I use FBSD both as desktop and as server. In practice, I need a GUI for desktop work and none whatsoever for server work. The only time I needed some kind of GUI component on a server was when I wanted to test a VM on it and I wanted the comodity of running VirtualBox console on my desktop. Other than that, the command line is more than enough. OTOH, for the kind of work that I do, having 4 workspaces is absolutely handy. And to be able to switch between these 4 scenarios with the scroll of a middle button is definetly a plus. just my 0,02 cents. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio....
