Agreed, but RHEL installs a GUI by default in any case. Of the big
three, AFAIK, only Ubuntu Server installs what you and I would
consider a "proper" server (e.g. no GUI). You can, of course, change
the default runlevels and such to prevent RHEL from booting into a
GUI, but by default it'll be there. IIRC, they removed the ability to
do a custom package set in the installer some time in RHEL 5, and made
it more difficult to do a text based install...

I could be wrong on that last bit, it's been a couple years since I
last touched RHEL in any real depth, but that's the way my addled mind
remembers it being...
