My personal opinion is that for servers, there needs to be an option for
"No X at all".
The one thing that screws that up is Freetype. (It is used by PHP.) Not
certain why this could not be statically linked though...
When I set up a server box, I do not want X. Over the years it has been
harder and harder to get an install to do that cleanly. (Other than "rm
-r /usr/X11R6".)
