which needs X libs and perhaps a few other things on a machine that
doesn't run X on the console. And on some other machines that I would
still classify as servers I run a whole desktop environment (or several)
remotely via freenx. Are the packages split so you can easily get the X
libs, fonts, etc., without hardware related components?
Yes, they are. On an install without any X components, 'yum install
gnome-terminal' will pull in X libs but not an X server.
