 why is pcmcia running on a server? I can understand cups (loads of
samba servers doing printing) and NFS (it _is_ a service. NFS v4 is a
big improvement). 

I think the reason all of theX stuff is installed by default on a server
is for console use. The default runlevel is 3, but you _can_ run startx
if you need/want to. Not all of the gui tools for admin have as
functional of an equivalent in the ncurses version. 

But then, a REAL admin doesn't use a mouse and starts to twitch and
drool a bit when they are remove from a command line...
