You need to have the X code and window manager installed but not necessarily 
running on the console.  It is fairly difficult to imagine a box that is still 
running today that couldn't handle a GUI, seeing as how virtually everything 
shipped in the last 15 years has been designed for, and usually shipped with MS 
windows.  If you are running something that old/limited, I'd recommend replacing 
it with a VMware guest on some more modern box and saving some power.
