Install as Server vs. Custom

[Craig White]

Never having used the "server" installation I don't know for certain but
it's my belief that it does not install xwindows by default when you choose
server install.

Funny thing is that my video card didn't come back on from a restart I did
over the weekend when I wanted to test out the startup services and I don't
really mind. I picked up a new video card today but won't rush to put it in.
Got to love linux for that.
