Hi,
I think these are your own preference, other customers (I for instance
:-) probably have different opinions.
Onestly, I never had to install a GUI interface on my linux servers
and I'm very happy with that: not installing the GUI has been a
liberation for me. The less software I have to install, the better I
feel: less security updates, less possible misconfigurations, less
possible bugs. Actually I wish the minimal installation would install
less software (maybe a kind of extra-minimum installation, with no
postfix, portmap, .....) :-)
As far as reducing reaction time, I'm pretty perplex: not having to
use the mouse for me improve my reaction time: with both hands on the
keyboard, everything goes faster.
I don't know about veritas, for the other softwares for which a GUI
was necessary, I always installed the GUI on my PC
The only place where the GUI is important (and in the sense that it
camke my users happy :-) is the desktop and onestly, even if I didn't
use linux desktops a lot in the past, I found SLED10 really nice and I
fill safe to install SLED10 on a PC for my chief to use it :-)
Kind regards,
Gaël
