[openFATE 305664] Server CD
- From: fate_noreply@xxxxxxx
- Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2009 17:07:32 +0100 (CET)
- Message-id: <feature-305664-6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Feature changed by: Michael Loeffler (sprudel24)
Feature #305664, revision 6
Title: Server CD
- openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed
+ openSUSE-11.2: New
Priority
Requester: Desirable
Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f)
Description:
Providing an official openSUSE server cd - with some often used server
software - and perhaps a lightweight window manager like icewm or
similar - would be a great thing for a number of reasons. - openSUSE is
generally considered a desktop centric distribution, providing a server
cd would do a heck of a lot to highligt the excellent (home-)server
qualities of openSUSE. - The few people that realize that the openSUSE
DVD/netinstall actually offers text mode/server installation, are often
discouraged by needing to download a full DVD, or do troublesome and
slow http/ftp installation. - Server users are generally more technical
people, it would be beneficial to attract more of these to the openSUSE
project. - More people using openSUSE on home servers would likely have
spill-over effects on SLES sales. - An openSUSE server cd, would be an
excellent response to Ubuntu server edition and Microsoft Home Server.

Please Market as Server and Virtualisation CD. An option to simple
install as guest OS would have market appeal. As someone who does use
Netinstall CD on occasion, and consider a distro for SOHO servers, a
key point for this sector is a reliable upgrade, without re-
installation. Ubuntu offers LTS and point updates for their server
edition. It's not just the availability of a CD that makes them
attractive.

A tuned version for Virtualised hardware not just 'badge' engineering
was my intention. Making things simple and quick for folk in a hurry on
Other OSes, would help build market share.
