Yes, that would be excellent, or a better server install option would be 
nice. You pick the server(s) and the remote config tools and then choose the 
level of security. No X, Gnome, KDE, no five different text editors, etc. 
Just solid command-line Linux; no fluff, no bloat.

I tried such an install on an intended web server. What a nightmare.
