Whats the simplest way to get a barebones linux server installed? barebones = just enough to get ssh and package manager.
Current I’ve been using CentOS with server install and removing any packages that I know i do not want installed.
But is there a better way? I just want a simple ssh shell + package management to start with. Hardware is irrelevant since everything is happening in a VM.
Debian Stable net install.
Once you have that installed and up and running, you can apt-get or aptitude install whatever packages you want. That’s how I set up my servers.
