Right. So apart from all the additional work to be done.. i simply cannot stand the look of opensuse. It's too..uncomfortable. I'm moving back to RHEL 5.

So, in Linux, a Server has a kernel different than a Desktop? All this time I've thought the kernel is the same across, but when you want to compile server apps, then you start pulling in some headers or .. yeah, whatever they call them. Sorry I am a bit ignorant on this

Not really Wash, you can use the same kernel, the notion of the difference is because as a practice it is recommended that servers use slightly older and stable kernels.

Is it assumed that X always introduces vulnerabilities on a "Server"?

I also doubt whether this is true.
