Do you have a hardware synth? I always do a minimal debian install when I
need a server machine. The reason is that then you get the minimum amount of
bogus stuff that you don't need. At a point in the debian install, you get a
chance to select what set of packages you want installed and if you uncheck
desktop applications, the install takes up only about 2 Mb. It's not so
much the disk space that matters as it is that having just the basic
packages makes the system easier to maintain. It's just a probability
statement after all. Fewer packages, fewer problems. Plus, you're less
likely to have problems with core packages than with some of the more
advanced, more complicated packages.
AFAIK, you need a hardware synth to do a debian install. Although, you can
probably do a serial console install. I haven't tried one of those in years
though.

Subject: Using a server distro
Hi,
I would like to use a Linux server distribution and I don't know which
would be the best solution for a blind today.
It would be very good to be able to use Debian/Ubuntu but I don't know if
the server distribution is as accessible as the desktop one, and I don't
need desktop apps like Open Office, but I need to use the computer for
running web-based apps.
Please tell me which is the best solution for using Linux in command line
mode, without needing to use a hardware synthesizer.
Thank you.
Octavian
