[NTLUG:Discuss] RedHat Server setup

I want to do an install of RedHat 8.0.  I have a couple of
questions.  

* I want the system to run as a server, but, I also want to
access it using a GUI interface.  Should I use the 
workstation, server, or custom setup?  I have setup the
using the server option before, and it did not setup the 
GUI for me.

* Which GUI do you recommend, KDE or GNome?  Why?

* I have two ethernet cards in the system.  eth0 (the WAN)
I want to specify the address.  But, eth1 is supporting the
LAN, and I want users to connect to this system using 
DHCP.  When setting up the eth1 card on a server that
will ultimately run the dhcpd daemon, do I specify a 
specific address (192.168.whatever) or do I tell the system
to use bootp/dhcp to retrieve the address.  This is the
gateway machine.  I am inclined to think it should be 
specified.

Thank You,
Bob
