Re: [BackupPC-users] How to install BackupPc-3.1.0 in RHEL-5

I sent this from my blackberry so I'm not sure if it went through. Basically the base ubuntu server install is much lighter in resource usage than the base centos or rhel install. So installing backuppc on a base ubuntu server make an essentially purpose built, quick to setup, backuppc install with no extra junk.

Sure!

Using the ubuntu server install, you can build a backuppc server, ready to backup clients, with nothing but the bare minimum software and services, in less than an hour.
Maybe 10 total clicks/commands including the "apt-get install backuppc"

This server will have no extra services and will be more naturally secure because of it.

With a centos/redhat/suse system you have more default services and software installed. They usually setup a more complete desktops which use up ram and disk space and typically have extra desktop related services.

this is mainly personal preference but the less that runs on a server unneccissarily, the better.

I have played with other systems and none are as easy as an ubuntu server setup.
