> I installed the 7.0 (7.1) beta on my laptop.

X is not installed and it is not recommended to be installed either due to security issues, this is a server not a workstation.
On the server console there is no GUI server manager available only a text based server manager.
Log in as admin and select server manager option or whichever other option you want eg Configure this server.
To access the server manager GUI you do that from a Windows workstation connected to the server(laptop) LAN.
> I would like try 6.01 now and I hope for better results.
sme 6.0.x functions in much the same way as 7beta1, no X and the server manager GUI is accessed by web browser from a Windows workstation on the LAN.
The text based server manager is available from the console after you login as admin.
PS Have you read the manual for sme 6.0.x, I think you should. Although a lot has changed in sme 7betax, the functionality & concepts are similar.
