A Firm Foundation for the Linux Desktop (O'ReillyNet)A Firm Foundation for the Linux Desktop (O'ReillyNet)Posted Nov 1, 2004 11:34 UTC (Mon) by dps (subscriber, #5725)Parent article: A Firm Foundation for the Linux Desktop (O'ReillyNet)
The article has the odd clueless comment... what caught my eye was "we do not use X, this is just a mail server" and suggested that X support might be useful. All mail servers I have anything to do with have neither X clients nor an X server (which is basically useless on a headless system).
IMHO X is inappropriate for any stripped down box, for example any serious mail server or box in a DMZ. I *do* use X but only on my non-headless development boxen (2 home+1 work). I have used remote X clients or cluster front end boxen via ssh, mixing local and remote clients on one desktop.
