And if you need 30 minutes on Windows to remove a proggy and install some codecs, you've got problems, gore
For one who cares how pretty something is when it's sitting in a telco closet sopmewhere without even a monitor attached to it?

Next, GUI, wastes RAM. A Server should be using RAM for clients, not a stupid GUI.

Two, GUI again, BSOD. Takes the whole system with it. In Linux, if the GUI crashes, it won't take the whole system with it.

GUI may not make it less stable but it sure as hell could reduce chances of crashes taking the whole thing with it.
