RE: Review packages included in the ubuntu-server package set
I think Michael has an excellent suggestion, seeing all ~300 packages on one page would be nice. I would like to go through this list of seed packages, but as a minimalist, and with a paradigm that says building a server should be _building_ it up, and not striping out the cruft, I'm a little nervous about commenting that ~100 packages get removed. As stated below, having certain packages available on the CD/DVD is nice, but are these packages default installed with the OS? I like the tasksel processes, but honestly I apt-get install after the OS install and then has been created and populated from the Ubuntu seeds. There are 279 packages currently included in it. [1]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArchiveReorganisation ... Leave a comment there for each packages that shouldn't be part of the ubuntu-server package set. [2]: http://ubuntuserverpkgsetreview.appspot.com/ ... In any case, the list needs some serious review. I'm reasonably certain Gimp shouldn't be on the list (that being just the most glaring example). I was wondering what this list really means! Are these packages for the server CD? Or are these packages part of a server related package list? Sorry for these basic questions but I think I'm not the only one wondering about it. For example: mailman is an important server package but nobody needs it on the actual install CD. If you want to setup a mailinglist server an admin should be able to install everything related after the initial install by her-/himself. The same with bacula, apache, tomcat, nagios and so on. A little bit more info would be great. Even to hear which Ubuntu groups (website, mailinglists and so on) decide what makes it to the server distribution of Ubuntu. Is it possible to get the list sorted alphabetically by package name? And to get a complete list on one page? These paging makes everything very confusing.

Once installed, the system runs fine - the install screens take forever to appear[0], the install process reminds me of using a 1200 baud modem connection to a BBS. I suspect the culprit is the video interface (I assume it defaults to the a bare-bones video driver), but with Hyper-V as a mainstream product, and assuming there will be interest in running Ubuntu appliances under it in mainly MS Windows Server shops, I think this problem could keep some users from considering rolling out Ubuntu Server. I've not noticed this on the Desktop installs I've done under Hyper-V, but I haven't done one in a while... So I'd be interested in understanding why this happening, and try and find out what it would take to correct this problem - I'm happy to help, but I am not a coder...

RE: UFW 0.20
Hi! ufw 0.19 introduced port ranges, but the version currently in Intrepid is 0.21. 0.20 and later require iptables = 1.4.0, which is not available in 8.04 LTS. At some point, I hope to provide iptables 1.4 and a newer version of ufw in hardy-backports or a PPA, but I haven't had time to do that yet. I'd be happy to review updated ufw and iptables packages and get them uploaded for -backports if someone provides them. An alternative would be to install and use 0.19[1] on hardy (it works just fine on 8.04 LTS). This is of course not officially supported, but neither would using -backports.

More specifically, does it include influential representation from people (sorta like me) who are attempting to scrape out a living deploying Ubuntu on bottom-of-the-barrel lowest low-end hardware, installing those machines in deplorable conditions, and with nothing remotely resembling an I/T infrastructure (facilities or people) to support the server? The above isn't intended to form the basis of an accusation or complaint. I just sense a big difficult-to-cross gulf between folks who, for example, have the ability to remotely manipulate a server that isn't even running versus those of us out here in the hillbilly backwater who think that a high end server is one with a CD-ROM drive.

RE: Moving w3m out of standard
I think an interactive web browser is completely unnecessary on a server. You should do your browsing from a workstation, and then use wget or sftp to transfer any files you need to the server. There are cases where the documentation that is packaged with typical server applications only comes as HTML (e.g. Wordpress). You won't get far with 'less' here, I always installed lynx for these cases. I would have to whole heartedly agree on less is more when it comes to servers. The vast majority of server applications will not require an interactive web browser. If one really needed an interactive web browser they would surely already have a net connection and be able to use aptitude to add additional packages as they wish.
