Perhaps you're missing the sublty between what is the "default" install
when
you just click next/next/next, and what is ON the server CD. The spin ==
whats in the CD, and a define "default" install. By "default" we
would
like
to not make any assumptions about what kind of server the user wants to
run,
so we don't install any. However we include them in the spin, so that
they
could CHOOSE to have certain things during the install, to go beyond
the "default" install.

Release Engineer: Fedora
My servers are either:
nameservers running bind, and maybe postfix and ntpd, or
Web servers httpd with php and mysql, or
source code boxes running cvs and winbind tied into active directory, or
running a camera with motion and gqview.
And if they are being backed up they need the legacy stuff for the backup
software to work.
All of them have either a DVD drive or are on VMware and can just use the
ISO file. I have a few that don't have a monitor or keyboard or mouse, just
power, network and a camera kind of boxes. None of them have Bluetooth or
need to print or have sound, but may have sound cards.
