  • RHEL 7 beta "minimal" install

    Posted on

    So, i looked at RHEL 7 Beta, and minimal seems to be anything but.

    It would be nice to be able to actually get a minimal install with less than 400-500 rpms, especially in VM environments where each VM is hosting one application.

    What I wouldn't give to have an enterprise distribution that gives me a simple Java JRE without all of the bloat, its not like we need 170 firmware/wifi/bluetooth/cups for a minimal installation of a server. Some days dealing with RHEL on a day-in-day-out basis makes me really appreciate what MirageOS is trying to do.
