slackware set of packages for headless server - no GUI
by sovteq from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BRC6)
Hi,
I am very extensively using slackware distribution on all of the servers. Nowadays most of the servers are on VM's so less space and RAM they are using the better. I am managing minimal set of packages that are suitable for such a minimal installation of slackware on guest vm (but ont only, the same I am using for host machines). Here you go:
https://github.com/marcinzawa/slackware-server
Slackware 15 is still in progress... but 14.2 is stable.
Feel free to use it during your instalation. All you need to do is to select "tagfiles" option in regular slackware installer. Let me know if there is anything you would add to it.
