That's quite true, but the OP didn't really say exactly what their need 
was, which is why I asked.  If they need something to get them a GUI and 
want that setup automated, you can't get any more automated than X over 
SSH, which IIRC comes enabled by default.  That eliminates the 
'automated' need at that point.  That's the only reason I asked.
