the only issue with that is what / how would you define 'servers'. Its easier to work with something like a package list of what would be considered reasonable to have on a default install, then remove the option to make installtime package selections and deliver only that raw package manifest thats been pre-selected.
Simple. Whatever needs to be on there to install and harden the machine so you can install it in a rack and access it remotely with ssh. So I would strip almost every package.
Preferably with support for things like XFS. One the basic system is up one can pull in everything else. Apache, mysql and the lot are all things that can be pulled in once the basic installation is done.
ok, xfs is venturing into centosplus lands...
But iptables, ntpd, sshd are however things I considere part of the core installation.
Let us just not forget ip6tables ;-)
How about you work out a list, we can then all argue over it, whatever packages get onto the list then can pose a potential manifest to work with ?
Well. Actually. I can not think of anything else I would need there. I would just take it from there and use yum to install those bits I might need on that server.
How is that for a short list?
