Operating Systems Solaris How to decide installing a Software group Post 302343646 by shadowfaxxxx on Thursday 13th of August 2009 07:13:49 AM

Thanks for your reply.

It's very hard and tricky to build a server without GUI which is working in every situation.
However some applications needs GUI but every guide that I read is suggesting to work without GUI due some reasons (security, unused open ports, traditional UNIX usage etc.)

I would like to hear your opinions about this.

Best regards.
