Thumbs up bad idea

A gui for server will actually hurt your server performance more than it will help you in the long run. When a server loads any gui it consumes a chunk out of your memory and slows system performance. On a windows server, you are already hurting your system performance by loading windows. On a linux server loading gnome or kde still hogs memory but not as much as windows hogs, however for optium performance on a linux server, if you have to have gui then xwindows is the way to go, if you dont need a gui then a text based distro is the way to go. Another thing to consider on any server os is processes, the less processes you have running the better performance you will get out of your server. I assume the poster of this thread is a windows user, and not to start an attack on windows users but why do you guys need a gui for everything? The emu works fine without a gui, if you want to hurt the performance of the server by kicking it in the balls then by all means create a gui.

Note: Im not going to reply to any replies or look at this thread again, just saying my opinion about how this will hurt the emu. have a nice day.
