[toni]

I know this is a bad thing to do but I have already to many pcs haming under my desk and this unit will be used at home only.
Therefore my questiion is: Is it to hard to add Sound & windows (XFree86) to esmith 6.0b3 (or older)
Any links and suggestions are appreciated.

It kind of defeats the purpose of the server.
Wouldn’t you be better of with any regular Linux distribution to use it as workstation and server?

[Klaus Eckert]

it is not a good idea to add sound and a grafical user interface (X-windows) to a server.
a server has to do its work, say: serve file, do the routing, manage the printers,  and so on.
if you "steal" it too much power with such "knick-knack", it can not to its work...
