No, and you probably don't want X on there if it's to be a webserver.
You are on the right track wanting SSH, you can do all your Apache
set-up/maint via SSH much easier than starting up X and doing it on
the server.=20

Did you finish the SSH install? SSH will prompt you to generate the
key during the make install process, you'll know your there when you
are asked to type randomly on the keysboard to generate some
'randomness'  ;^)

Alternately, if you finished the install properly, are you trying to
start SSH as a user and not as root?
