Also you may find that you installed the workstation versions. These setups
have virtuall no inet servers at all. They have clients but no servers,
intending to be servers. If you so a server install or a custom install then
it will install the telnet server and ftp etc. In workstation (KDE or GNOME)
these are not installed.
Also to note, by default telnet is turned on when it is installed :-/
Also is ftp... some others are not which used to be and that is a good
thing.
