I have honestly never seen the point of running X on a server which is
running Asterisk.  If you can't have your Asterisk crash
(commercial/production environment) all you should have installed is
Asterisk and what you need to build Asterisk and it's related tools.

I know there are differing opinions on this, and I realize that yes,
Asterisk does work when you install all sorts of things, but I feel
the ideal, and correct thing to do with an Asterisk install is to
dedicate the machine to it, run anything else you need on a seperate
server.
