Re: [SL] Best Linux OS for SL?

My personal feeling is that a server should be just that ' a server '. GUI addons only serve to waste resources and add potential security holes. I also tend to sperate 'services' and dedicate a box for each one if possible for the same reasons. I've had SL running on BSD 5.x without a problem, however i used the official installer instead of what was in the ports tree. There was a bit of manual labor to get all the components setup but its pretty straight forward. And to answer you question about first/last/etc: if you do make install on a port, it installs it for you and you dont need to install the package afterwards. ( its sort of redundant ) its also best to stick with ports, and not packages if you can. Ports is the preferred way for any BSD application, packages are just there for convenience.
