Unfortunately commercial unix products, such as IBM's WebSphere
absoluately require it. Ok not *absolutely*, to make a "headless"
install of IBM WebSphere requires "recording" an installation log
thingie, thats xml, that you hand modify and run through some tool on
the headless server after much muckery ... a whole lot of muckery, took
me about 4 days to finish preparing, actually.
Whereas if the target linux machine just had X, I could have just run
the damn (eclipse & java-based) installer, instead.
