How about dedicated servers? It would be nice if I could select "LSB Core" and "Bind" for a dedicated DNS server. I wouldn't need X or any other GUI for that, do I? And because I installed a LSB compliant system, I should be able to add another package to add functionality (a FTP server to load my zone files for example). > Linux Standard Base = Linux Core + Linux Application Extentions > (including X). > Linux Handheld Base = Linux Core + Handheld Specific Extentions > (another GUI). > Linux WAP Base = Linux Handheld Base + WAP -- Vincent de Lau ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
