Hi,
First, Novell bought Ximian and their Ximian Desktop gnome based
environment a few years ago. This surely motivated them to push
gnome to the default selection.
Second, I truly agree that there should not be any desktop
environment on a default selection of any server platform.
I always had to unselect quite a few packages from the minimal
installation of SLES8 and SLES9 to have a "true" minimal system...
I would really like to have a bare server selection with only the
base system. I would be able to add the packages I need, like SSH by
selecting these packages by hand. I will always remove any non-
mandatory package on a production system. Even YaST is removed from
my installation.
My two cents...

and would Very Much Love it if Novell would dare to be different on
this issue.
As long as they give me the ability to excise it... I can live with
it being the default but not be happy about it. Not at all happy.

I don't know, but I think it's the same in RHEL. I don't get it.
