It comes to my notice that there is an server version - CentOS-4.4.ServerCD-x86_64.iso http://mirror.myriadnetwork.com/centos/4.4/isos/x86_64/
I'm going to run CentOS as server. What packages are included there?
Is X packages included as well which should not be on a server creating a risk hole. However on another hand it will be convenient for me at the early stage of installation to search documents on Internet. Just retain X not started at boot and remove all their packages after installation finished. I don't expect connecting a workstation to the server to do this job at the beginning.
Advice would be appreciated. TIA
The Server CD is simply a subset of the entire CentOS distribution designed to fit on one CD. Once installed, the entire distribution is available via yum. It's a convenient single CD version of the distro, especially for those instances where DVD and/or multiple CDs are undesirable.
