I usually just intall xterm. It will get the minimum you need. If you want a window manager as well as min X, install it too ( I usually us fvwm for cases like that ).

I built a Fedora 20 system as a server, without a desktop. It turns

log in remotely and run system configuration tools. The documentation
I've found suggests
yum groupinstall "Basic X Window System"
or
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
but neither of those groups exist. There is a Basic Desktop group, but
it installs a bunch of unnecessary desktop tools.
What's the best way to get just a basic X server in Fedora 20?
TIA.
