No "Servers" category in Ubuntu Software Center

[Col. SC Sood(Retd)]

Binary package hint: software-center

Sir,

At present there is no "Servers" category in Ubuntu Software Center. This is a big limitation.
In case server software is required to be installed, e.g. Web Server, Database Server, Email Server, File Server, FTP Server etc, the user has to first study literature and find out what all is required to be installed for a particular service.

Even in Synaptic Package manager, there is no simple facility.

It would be much easier to install server software in case a category "Servers" is included in "Ubuntu Software Center". It is likely to prove helpful in teaching and promoting Ubuntu.

Satish

I don't feel that this would be a good addition to SC. I don't want to sound prejudiced, but for people who want to install Server stuff, would they either know the names of the software and install it, or use synaptic instead?

This is intended to help beginners and the student community.
