I think here in lies the problem - everyone has different needs from thier servers. Personally, I need X on one of my servers, http://shurl.net needs it to create thumbnails of websites. On some servers, the 'no games' would be a problem, because 'fortune' is needed (lets face it, it's a fantastic way to kill time). I will be solving this issue shortly by using the hardened profile, along with a custom overlay which will have a meta-package in called something like '$companyname-server'. This will pull in iproute2, vim, fortune, nmap, iptables, and everything else. This method could also be used to distribute custom config files - such as your vimrc, and your screenrc. -- Ian P.
