I Run SuSE 9.3 with KDE 3.4, Asterisk 1.0.3, play MP3's and OGG's, SAMBA 
services, HTTPD, VNC, MicroWindows, FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, plus others.
I dont see that the GUI slows things down to much, unless I am running a 
test and gring the call volume over 500 active calls. (I am developing a 
new channel driver for * ment for inclusion in mobile phones, think 
Asterisk+Cell Phone).  The assertion that a GUI will bring a system to 
it's knee's is utter CRAP!  It all has to do whith what the system is 
doing besides, and what the hardware can handle. BTW: the system this 
all is running on is an AMD 1700+, and the same system that I am using 
to brows the mailing list.
