Yes, I agree. Just because OS X has a amazing GUI does not mean you cannot use the command line if you desire.

On the other hand, most users will be happy with the GUI as a desktop model.

More than likely I would not choose OS X as a remote server as I do agree most packages for OS X are designed for GUI installation.

PS: I recently installed LAMP for OS X, called MAMP, and it was the easiest LAMP/MAMP install I have ever seen.

Detailed Description
       API provided by libm17n-gui.so.

       GUI support for a window system.

       This section defines the m17n GUI API concerning M-text drawing and inputting under a window system.

       All the definitions here are independent of window systems. An actual library file, however, can depend on a specific window system. For
       instance, the library file m17n-X.so is an example of implementation of the m17n GUI API for the X Window System.

       Actually the GUI API is mainly for toolkit libraries or to implement XOM, not for direct use from application programs.
