No fluff, just a basic server

Hi All,

I just signed up - should have done this years ago.

Can someone point me in the direction of a How-to or guide of some sort that will aid me in installing Linux with only what I need and not all the fluff that comes bundled in most distributions.

i.e. A guy who used to work here used to remove things like rlogin, telnet and other things he claimed posed a security risk.

What I'm looking for is "This is all you need for an email server" then anything else can be added later, rather than install a server followed by searching for all the horrible nasties to uninstall.

I'd likely be using RedHat 7, 8 or 9.

Making any sense?

Regards,

jfawcett
