For me, the objective in using the minimum server select is to have a _fast_ installation that is a good general basis for a (usually headless) server.
Which means: nothing installed but sshd. Because nobody knows what kind of services you want to serve
The resulting size of the installed system is largely irrelevant as a server will always have sufficient space.
Haha! Tell this to our 7000 VMs. Of course there is sufficient space, but it comes with a hefty price tag.
Additional software/services (mysql, cifs, apache, bind, dhcp, cups, whatever) are not included in the selection, those are for the user to chose or add later.
Exactly.
The installed system must be generally suitable as a server, i.e. when I ssh to it for maintenance or tracing/debugging, I don't want to be missing anything.
This contradicts your previous sentence.
Comments?
Minimal means minimal, and server means no bootsplash ;-) So kernel, glibc, zypper and sshd should be enough. -- Stefan Seyfried "Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body!" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
