Install a server managed over SSH in a rack.
A local graphical desktop is not required.
Which installation layout is reasonable?
When a GUI is unnecessary, a CUI-oriented minimal server configuration reduces maintenance while preserving remote administration.
Detailed explanation
Correct. A minimal CUI server configuration matches the stated workload.
Incorrect. A full GUI adds components that are not required.
Incorrect. SSH does not require an X server.
Incorrect. Removing all networking would prevent SSH administration.
Try it yourself
An example you can run in a temporary verification environment.

- CUI
- Remote administration
- Purpose-driven installation
Notes
- Environment: systemd採用Linux
- Use a disposable VM or test account when validating installation and SSH behavior.
- Exact command output can vary slightly by distribution and OpenSSH version.
Foundation review
Identify the scope
SSH administration needs networking and an SSH service, not necessarily an X server or full desktop.
Check the side effect
Confirm the remote-management service and network path before removing graphical packages.
