> Does it come with package management yet?
Not really
> Can I easily avoid DLL hell these days?
Yes, it just stores every version on the drive, seems to work
> Can I add my own local repository and use it to maintain a fleet of workstations, making sure they always have the same configuration no matter what?
For free? not easily.
> Is it easily possible to connect to a Windows machine and administer it from a command line/scripting environment?
Powershell does a lot more on this front
> Can I disable the GUI and use Windows without tying up resources for unneeded functionality - i.e. no graphics card required?
Considering Windows Server Core still has a GUI? no.
> does it ship with development tools already set up and configured?
No
