+1 for incompetent.

The GUI on the server is never for managing the server, really, but it's a Desktop Environment. That is why it's not installed when you select the "server" option during install.
However, for starters, you can select "Desktop" mode, configure the WM to listen on 127.0.0.1 and still end up with a Server.
A server is simply applications installed (and sometimes glued together) to serve a purpose. It's never defined as hardware.

services running and you therefore enable others on demand rather than
vice-versa.

One particular thing am happy about version 6 is the SeLinux which looks
much better than version 5. anyway am just a beginner in this sysadmin
field.

Hey skunks

Who is using CentOS 6.* , been finding it a bit odd from previous
versions
mostly in the installations and not yet mastered a perfect installation.

Two points to note are it defaults to runlevel 3 if you chose a server
installatation (was stuck as to why I'm not getting a GUI)
Secondly I installed a 32 bit on 4GB ram, now it only recognizes 3.36GB.
kernel-pae is no longer a module on this version so how do I enable it
to
recognize 4GB
