I don't think there's an ad hoc list, but there are certain things you wouldn't want to try and use together -- like sendmail and postfix; i's pretty obvious that you can only choose one mta and not try and install both. But in order to come to that realization, obviously you would havfe to konw what 'sendmail' and 'postfix' are in the first place. Obviously you shouldn't try to install 'everything' as you normally only need one of each type of software (except for games maybe) :) like one editor, one mail reading agent, one database thing (mysql or postgres?) and so forth. But I think (at least for me) this is something learnt by osmosis, and not something codified somewhere. I haven't tried a full install in Mandrake - I would go for a 'workstation' or a 'server' install and then select additional packages from the list. And then, I'd notice I'm missing something or other, and then go back and install it :). And, I may have commented about this sometime or other -- inasmuch as I like many others, come from a DOS / Windows background, and apart from the standard suite of "traditional" Unix utilities, many Linux apps have somewhat wierd looking names which don't immediately convey their intended function. I used to run Redhat, and I botched my first Mandrake install somewhat, because I neglected to start from a clean state with /var - and that's where Redhat's rpm database was. Silly me :). I thought at first that the install puked because there were a lot of things that didn't get installed right, little utilities, things like 'patch' were missing, stuff like that.
