It would be nice if they rolled server install into the same disc, because really all Ubuntu Server is is a different base set of packages from the exact same repositories.
- tvon 16y agoYeah, that's what I was getting at (most Linux distros used to work this way "back in the day").
- dotBen 16y agoNot really because the comparative sizes of the install disks are substantially different due to the fact that none of the X windows environment or any X apps need to be shipped on server.
- Legion 16y agoOnly problem with that is that it's really not true. ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso: 695M ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso: 642M natty-desktop-amd64.iso: 681M natty-server-amd64.iso: 653M Not sure I would call that "substantially different". Every Ubuntu ISO is a full CD's size, give or take. Your reasoning for the difference isn't true either. X and X apps are most certainly included in the server ISO. Certainly, there's probably a few more packing the desktop ISO that aren't on the server one, but we're talking very little difference here.
