That's right. It might be worth having a server installer with no GUI
and a desktop installer with a GUI.

Which kind of trouble ? If you're talking of possible lack of good video
drivers for the installation target (in the case of a desktop install of
course), I think it's better to notice the problem during the
installation than after the installation.

An all-automatic (meaning no interaction at all from the user) install
doesn't need a GUI. However, if there is to be any interaction, it's
nicer to do it using a GUI, IMHO.
