Bare bones server distro?

Todd_Z · 2005-06-16 00:38:00

I want to have the most bare bones system possible, hopefully being able to have it on a usbkey => I want to have apache 2.x, php 5.x, mysql 4.x, phpMyAdmin, [some sort of cpanel like program?], and a simple gui. I want to have the smallest overhead possible. Whats the best way to accomplish this?

um..install arch base. install apache, php, mysql, and phpmyadmin, and probably openssh..

you may be able to remove one ore two packages from arch-base, selectively, carefully.

You might try LFS too...

there's a number of packages I don't install from base... ppp pppoe wireless-tools and a couple others.

1. Is there a good cpanel alternative which is freeware?
2. If I built myself a bare system with a decent mobo, cpu, ram - would I have a decent server? Or would self-serving be really crappy in terms of uptime, speed, etc.
