Lanman, First of all, you DO need XFS and KDM running on the server.
BUT, you don't need a graphical session on the server. Look in your kdmrc file (You'll have to find that yourself), and in that file, there should be a line that says 'Xservers'. That line points to a file. Something like: /usr/share/config/kdm/Xservers. Edit that file, you should see a line that starts with ':0'. Comment out that line. That will prevent X from starting on the console. That's it.
