Sorry the thread hacking but... could be used the Desktop version for a text only install in a server enviroment?
Yes, the server installer ISO/USB image is a subset of the desktop image (possibly with some other tweaks in the software configuration, like the default method of networking setup - the NWAM wizards for the desktop and static files for text-based server installer). In terms of software, you can turn a server installation into the desktop one by adding some packages over internet (IIRC, to ease the process, there should be a special meta-package which has needed package sets as dependencies), and you can turn a desktop into server by disabling unneeded services and/or removing these packages. In practice for a server with unspecified workload I'd suggest installing the desktop variant, disable the interactive GUI (by "svcadm disable gdm") and install VNC-server bound to localhost in case you'd need some graphical work - and tunnel them over SSH. At the very least, if your network connectivity can occasionally disappear, the VNC terminals on the server continue working while SSH sessions would be broken and work can get lost (you can also use "screen" to make SSH text sessions resilient to network drops). Also, some software can need the graphics libraries i.e. for image manipulation, even if it doesn't do interactive GUI.
