Its pretty traditional and well accepted for *nix server installs not to have any GUI what-so-ever. If you do a "Server" install using CentOS or many other linux distro's you wont have a GUI by default(last time I checked with CentOS).

i had already edited some config file to start in runlevel 5 or whatever - with GUI. xwindows for a start - i think. i also tried to start xwindows manually, but it simply did not accept my monitor - which i found out by reading some logfiles. and it's just a simple tube monitor - vesa norm - nothing special.
so i didn't bother spending time with it anymore and reformatted it
but the best thing at the end was: due to the stupidty of linux and it's hd partinioning the pc couldn't boot from cd anymore and i had to format the drive in another pc first. i'm done with it for the next 2 years at least.
and btw - i have managed my red hat 7.1 server in the past - and i have a cisco ccna - i'm not a dummie - i just don't have the time to learn what i already know with windows
