We could argue that a server can do without, and I’ve always complained the

other repository.


You are so very correct.

Maybe we need a package option called 'duffer'. This installs:

 - The init.d system
 - All the damn net tools
 - Sensible samba
 - Absolutely sudo
 - All the text tools you know and love...

I miss the simplicity.

Kindest Regards,
