I am planning on running a Squid Proxy, Postfix, Apache, webmail server here at my company and I was wondering if it was alright to run a Desktop or just X-Windows on this server. I love using the command-line and have become pretty proficient with it (I always have a terminal open), but other people in my department are not and a Desktop will help them out a great deal. They're used to a Windows NT type interface.
I have always read that a desktop should not be running on a server but there is never an explanation as to why. Is there any problem with running a desktop on a server other than performance issues? The computer is a AMD 1.1 GHz with 1.256 GB RAM and 80GB drive with only 70 users so it should handle it just fine. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
