[itdiscuss] About Jeos Ubuntu 8.04

[dave@bitbud]

I never had much success with it - variety of issues.  As I was
uncertain exactly what dependencies were removed to make it "Just
Enough", I now only install the full server, and remove any larger
packages if I see the need.

Especially where servers are concerned, I prefer to use the Primary
platform (Server as opposed to JEOS) as that is where most of the
updates are tested against (my theory).

Of course, I was not bothered by a slightly larger initial install.
