Re: required software list for new server
However, other relies still very welcome because everyone has their own thoughts which will make my list perfect.

Re: required software list for new server
Which linux distribution are you going to use?
Santosh is right, most distributions throw everything out there. And if its not on by default it usually is either on the install disk or provider's web site.
My problem is trying to figure out what NOT to install. I try to cut down the default list to what the server would use to help cut down # of patches to apply and security concerns.
But my list for what I always require is as follows (all available on the distribution): perl, expect, tcl/tk, openssl, ssh (openssh), apache (unless a internet server), ntp, lsof. ncftp, gcc, tcpdump.

Re: required software list for new server
Also, I guess I should have asked initially...what are the functions of the two machines, i.e. web server, file/print server, application server. Depending on what you plan to do with the machine, you'll need to install (or more likely, remove) software.

Re: required software list for new server
I was asking about the distribution because different vendors (Redhat, Debian, etc) include different things. But most thrown in about everything you can think of.
I also agree with Santosh that I usually set up my server standard via function.
Example: DNS servers get ntp, named, ssh, etc.
Web servers get apache, ssh, etc.
Like I said early, on Linux I actually end up specify what NOT to install for each function since everything is there. (Much different that Solaris and HP-UX) :-)
