If I'm not mistaken, (not making fun of Emmanuel, just the same caveat),
neither server nor web server have a GUI by default.  IMLTHO (less than
humble) this is something they should have done a long time ago, (though
I would like to see either flux or openbox available as alternative--on
the other hand, that's purely personal preference, and can be safely
ignored--just, if I do, for whatever reason, want a GUI on a server, I'd
much prefer a *box (or other--twm is available actually, but I don't
like it), I'd like something light.

Riley: Buffy . . . I feel like we've gotten really close. At

relationship with him . . but . . . all I ask is . . if you're 
gonna break heart, do it fast. 
Buffy: What? You think that Angel and I...
Riley: Didn't you? 
Buffy: No. Of course not. How can you even ask me that? 
Riley: I don't know. Xander said... 
Buffy: Xander?! Oh, he's the deadest man in Deadonia.
