Re: Server comments

I"m with you. I am commenting on the absence of what I consider to be 'high end' server installs.

By the way, the services admin app (gnome) is just awfull. :) (A little off topic)

My real problem is with the server install. Come on guys. Are you
serious? What you call a server install, stopped being useful ten years ago.
Contemporary servers require desktops and more.

I for one would be quite disappointed to see the desktop-less
installation option disappear. I love the fact that I can just install
what I need and not have lots of extra megabytes taken up by a desktop
environment I'm never going to use. If you know how to configure an ldap
installation, having to type 'sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop' is not
going to make a difference.

If Ubuntu didn't have a gui-less server install, I'd probably go back to
Debian for my servers.
