Why do people in the 21st century insist on running systems without GUIs? Unless your server/PC is terminally old, then running a GUI is no big deal in terms of CPU or memory usage.

Professionally we run many remote systems, both Linux and Windows, with GUIs and use VNC to access them, and it makes life so much easier to administer and look at the software status online.

If this were 1991 I would agree about the need for non-GUI software, but it isn't, and people should move on.
