We run a Windows 2003 server and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Linux) server side by side. The Linux server has no GUI. All maintenance on the Linux server is done via scripts and works beautifully. I'm thinking of rewriting some of those scripts into a single maintenance application using FPC's console GUI framework (that Turbo Pascal look - I can't remember the name now). The Linux server does about four times the work compared to the Windows server, and it's uptime is also way higher (as in months). Start-up time is also impressive. The Windows server takes about 5-7 minutes to boot - Linux is up in 30 seconds (and it's a slower machine). The latter drives the windows administrators nuts! :-) Based on our company servers I think non-GUI servers kick ass. ....but now I'm way off-topic again....
