More and more things are getting installed as time goes on, and while some of those are needed some are bloat. For routers, firewalls, and servers, I routinely remove nearly 40% of the installed packages... *don't* tell me that all those packages were needed, that's ridiculous. Questioning the status quo is always valid, since that's how we make progress. If you don't like his thread, ignore it... you have a delete key. But don't try to shut people up! That's rude, uncalled-for, and against Fedora's best interests. People like Dave are the ones who actually speak up and suggest improvements in the OS for future versions, so I suggest we value every voice we can get. And no, we cannot and will not assume that EVERYONE must reconfigure services after install, damnit. We can and will search for the optimal package sets for each configuration, because SOME OF US want Fedora to be as good as possible. Sheesh. -- Rodolfo J. Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
