If we do not remove them, then our servers This comes up every time there's a new release, but I don't think that's the direction RHEL is headed. They want it to be easy to set up a print server (for while you'd obviously need CUPS), edit files with nano (configured to include spellcheck), hook up to YP or LDAP or KRB5, etc. Not to mention perl and python are always required if you want yum and the sysconfig tools. For the minimal server, I''m actually hoping for a different product than RHEL like the Virtual Appliance (more a rPath or JEOS setup). _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
