I have to (slightly) disagree with this. It used to be a given that
you didn't run X on a server. There were security and performance
issues that made it much easier to just not install it. However, with
modern HW and the work being done with X lately, it isn't unreasonable
to have it install in a minimal configuration. I find that it's handy
to have either mwm or vtwm running on a server. It's extremely rare
that I have to actually physically log into one but when I do need to
it's quite the time (and headache) saver.
But this is just one man's opinion.
