When I install a server I usually make a minimal install and put on the software which is needed for the task the machine is to perform. Less packages which needs security updates the better IMO. Today I was setting up a heartbeat cluster on a SLES10. When the heartbeat package is installed the system also installs shaitloads of other packages like gtk pango and some X-libs… and I simply dont get why?!?
This have been an awesome Christmas. I didn’t really realize that Christmas was upon us until December the 22. when my and my girlfriend headed for Jutland to spend Christmas with my side of the family. Work have been stressing in December, so when I got home I didn’t have the energy to think of Christmas. Anyways…now it is over :)
With the latest version of Windows Server 2003 R2 it is no longer needed to install Windows Services for UNIX, since this is now a part of Windows Server 2003, though not enabled by default.
