Ubuntu Server 20.04.2 Standard System Utilities
by Felthorn3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5H314)
Hi all,
I have been following steps in a book to setup a virtual machine lab and one of the machines is a SIEM that runs Ubuntu Server. I have never used this before as I am still quite new to Linux in general. During install, the steps in the book indicate I should install the "Standard System Utilities", but I was never prompted to do so. I figured out to use tasksel to check this but when I use it and I view the "master" list of software collections this particular collection is nowhere to be found.
I understand that these utilities are more convenience oriented but I'd rather avoid having to do the installations ad hoc later. Is there a way to get this entire collection installed now given that it's not showing up in tasksel to install?
Thanks!
