| Speaking of which, I just saw in the
latest issue of the Swedish computer-mag Mikrodatorn that Windows Longhorn
Server will be available in a slimmed-down version w/o a GUI, dubbed Windows
Server Core. It would be ideally suited to simple tasks as being a domain
controller, file-, dhcp, dns-server! The Core version would have a CLI only, and
be accordingly faster.
I foresee that there will be some
basic 3rd party GUI:s for those that can't live w/o a GUI.
I've been thinking about this
for a while now, when MS would give us a non-gui server-os. And apparantely
it's time now. Supposedly MS is doing this to meet the *nix/linux competition,
all of which can offer a non-GUIed os for server-applications like web-server,
that don't really need a GUI. Administration is to be done from client-machine
or some such via MMC and/or directly on the CLI on the Core-machine.
Scripting-knowledge will be a great help in dealing with this
later.
I'm so game for this, in fact I can't
wait till it becomes available! In the long run I assume this will also prolong
the lifespan of the server-hardware we have with maybe five or so years at best,
as there's no GUI to deal with. Unless the hardware breaks down of
course...
