Ha, so you seem to need to use the X windows system, which I do not use
on my servers, so I can't speak for that.

I understand the reasoning; but I wonder : would it make sense for you
to pick one of the well known systems mentionned above thread, with a
specialist(*) catering to your installation/maintenance needs, and then
have another different one as a standby backup, ready to take over in
case of need?

I'm asking this because I try to find a way out of the 'big corporation
only talking to the big corporation' paradigm.

knows his stuff; not a corporate drone)
