Please get a clue before trying to advise people. Next, X11 is not running. Did I mention anywhere in my post that X11 is actually running? In fact, when that machine starts up, it starts in runlevel 3. Next, why would a computer serving web, NFS and IMAP need X11 and gnome? Any half decent system administrator will remove useless and unused packages from any server. As Frank mentioned, each additional package is a potential vulnerability. Plus, it doesn't make any sense to keep software installed that wont be used... The crux of this issue is not that I'm using fedora as a server, its that the dependency issues are utterly crazy. But on the upside, it appears such craziness is going to be fixed. Fedora is not just a desktop, although that seems to be the focus in competition with things like ubuntu. Dan
