Re: Some package don't needed for Ubuntu Server edition: msg#00082

Subject: Re: Some package don't needed for Ubuntu Server edition
I agree with Hassan.
The "ubuntu-minimal" package should include mandatory package for a server environment
with a maximum level of security (no ssh, samba, ... by defaut)
But the package should remain on the CD.
I think that additionnal server template should be accessible once the minimal installation has been conducted through a ncurse interface.

for example:
# server-reconfigure
 - internet access
 - wireless
 - samba/nfs server
 - ssh server
 - LAMP server

Hi,

I can't call My privat home server a "server" like I have at work. I
never seen a server from Dell/HP/Sun with  wireless. My idea is not to
have these packages installed by default like openssh-server it's not
installed by default for security reason (you can install it with
apt-get without internet connection because you can get it from the
CDRom). So the same things should be for wpa* or ppp*

The main goal for Ubuntu Server is to be robust server disribution
without extra.


It's only a suggestion.



Regards,
