You can safely remove X11 on a Debian system. If there is console application that is compiled against X libraries, Debian usually has an alternative that doesn't use X. If you're ever unsure, use the -s flag. Apt won't make any changes, it will just output what it would do if you issued the command without the -s (simulate) flag. You can pro bally try apt-get remove xserver-common or something along those lines. Try aptitude for a menu based package management. -- Andrew S.
