_EVERY_ server out there requires a GUI client to display a graphic
interface.  You want a GUI client app, then you need a GUI client.  How
else could it possibly work?  Really, the UI of the server console
doesn't matter at all when it comes to providing a GUI client app.

The i5 is similar to UNIX in that the server console is not natively
GUI.  Even with Windows, you could conceivably stop Windows from
starting the GUI w/o effecting any client apps.
