 Da> Why use a gui at all with serverS?

I don't really see the problem with using a GUI with a server machine..? I use Linux Mint XFCE on my BBS machine.  I'd be alright using a distro without a GUI for it (and I've been using Linux for years, and I feel comfortable with the command line), but I feellike a GUI has some advantages.  The main reason is that I can have multiple console windows open and visible at the same time - For my BBS, I tend to have the Synchronet UNIX monitor on screen as well as a console window following the Synchronet log so Ican see log messages go by. Also, although I like vim, sometimes I like using a GUI-based text editor.  Recently, I've also been using Cursor AI for help with some development & debugging tasks, and I believe Cursor is only available as a GUI app (which is based on Visual Studio Code) - though it's possible they might have a version that works simply from the command line.
