Minimal Slackware-Server

rasidrasid · 01-19-2024, 07:58 AM

Hello,

I have an old pc (i686) and I want to install Slackware 15-32bit on it. But there are a lot of packages that I dont neet in the full version, for example X-Windows, windows manager ect. Which packages do I need only to build a server (ssh, scripting languages....ect.) like ubuntu-server? I am familar with ubuntu-server and I want to have the same in Slackware, to learn another distro. The old pc dont have the capacity for a full installation.

Thank you.

lxc containers work the same way--just the minimal so they don't fill your entire drive with full slackware over and over... you could see which packages were chosen for slackware's lxc template, found at /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-slackware.
