I'm about to start building my asterisk server and I can't seem to find
anything that discusses the pros and cons of installing the OS (Fedora

Parts left out don't get broke.
Install the absolute minimum OS (deselect everything) and 'yum in' the
packages you actually need.
When you configure Asterisk, set 'autoload = no' and explicitly load the
modules you actually use.
Is there any great disadvantage to running the server in init level 5
(ie KDE, xorg, etc) running in the background, but not being logged in,
versus init level 3 ? (Or whatever they call these things these days...,
ie F15 uses systemd...)
The 'run level' you configure Asterisk to start at is not dependent on the
interface. You can chkconfig Asterisk to run at levels 2345 regardless of
the interface installed.
FWIW, I'm OK doing things via the CLI, but sometimes its really nice to
have graphical tools.
None of the servers I manage have a GUI installed. All are administrated
over ssh. The only situation where having a GUI installed would be
convenient would be if I were local to the console and wanted to run
wireshark.
