Hi, Simon.

I've run Bio-Linux 8 as a terminal server on many servers. You need most
of the Ubuntu 'desktop' installed to run a remote MATE desktop.

I don't think it's an issue to run a GUI on a server, but you might find
it useful to use the MATE desktop locally if the server graphics
hardware is not up to running Unity.

The overhead of running a GUI on the server is quite low, especially if
you run the MATE desktop locally. The default remote desktop is MATE.

HTH,

  Tony.
