do I have GUI installed on server?
How do I know whether I have a GUI installed on the server or not?
I suspect not as I only have SSH access but I want to check in case it's using up memory. |
ps aux |grep gdm (or kdm or xdm and/or xorg)
I guess you should just do ps aux and look through for things that look gui-like. If you know what distro, you could use the package manager to list the files installed and see if an xserver is installed. |

[root@localhost ~]# ps aux |grep gdm Code:
[root@localhost ~]# locate xserver |
Wouldn't worry too much. Like any other sw, if you're not using it (ie actually pointing/clicking), 99% of it will be flushed from mem, just leaving a stub so the kernel can respond to any activation.
Try running top to see. |

Is grep the GUI? How would I actually be able to access the GUI remotely anyway? |
One way to check is to look at /etc/inittab. There's a line in there with the word initdefault, which means startup init level (man init or telinit).
3 = cli mode 5 = Xserver (GUI) mode http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...x_Boot_Process |

You're better off browsing through the entire ps aux output and google for things if you don't know what they are. |
