Server comments

[Jim Bodkikns (Dakotacom)]

   Interesting idea actually. I like many that have responded, would hate to 
see the base server install go away. I dont understand why the approach used 
by RHEL or FC4 wasnt used. It isnt perfect but will allow just about 
anything to be installed at the time the system is 'built' rather than 
later.

   Wait, I know the answer. Ubuntu is a 'desktop' distro, and probably the 
best. It is probably the case that people are finding ubuntu usefull beyond 
the desktop. We are. (As a better debian.)
