Just as a note, GNUstep and OpenStep aren't window managers per se: GNUstep is WindowMaker and a full Openstep compatible API stack, under which some Cocoa programs will drop in and compile, and can run on top of Linux or one of the BSDs, and OpenStep is the actual last incarnation of NeXT before it became Rhapsody and later OS X.

With the server install media you can get picky about what gets installed by default and only install the bare minimum. There are options besides GNOME, KDE, and XFCE environments when you're looking for a lighter weight GUI experience. There is no shortage of window managers out there. GNUStep, OpenStep, AfterStep, Blackbox, fvwm, IceWM, Sawfish, Window Maker. Or you can go with the command line. ;) -- Andrew S.
