Well, you can run the GUI installer (I use a text one, looks like a DOS
program with a lightbar) but tell it not to install the x server.  So I set
it up that way.  As for future maintenance, I either use a command line
program/script, or I use the webmin server I have installed.  I have it set
up to allow one other machine on my network (that does have GUI) to be able
to access it via a web browser.  It allows me to configure various things,
including making changes to the nsf file server.
