I have always read that a desktop should not be
running on a server but there is never an explanation
as to why.
To my intention the main reason is only to install software on a
server which is absolutely necessary to run the server and the
needed systems.
The less software you have installed on a server the less potential
memory leaks and security holes you will find on it.
If you want to give your colleagues access to the system you may
use Webmin and let them administer some selected things over the
webbrowser.
I agree,
If your running a gui, then is your plan to give out the root password?
or give them system accounts and grant rights? (not sure how this would work)
With webmin, you are root and no one else, but you can create admin
accounts that have certain rights to certain areas. And, they can
access from their workstation via their browser.
