Pfffffft

It’s quite amazing how much software gets installed over time when a machine just keeps on running, occasionally rebooting for hardware changes only.

Today I replaced the firewall machine and had to reinstall/reconfigure at least the following packages:

  • ap-utils
  • apt-proxy
  • bacula-fd
  • bind9
  • ClamAV, FreshClam & ClamAV-milter
  • ddclient
  • dhcp daemon
  • dnsutils
  • fetchmail
  • gidentd
  • host
  • iptable rules
  • jwhois
  • lha
  • MySQL server
  • ntp-server
  • rsync
  • sendmail
  • ssh
  • SNMP daemon
  • squid proxy
  • screen
  • smartmontools
  • tinyfugue
  • unarj
  • unzip
  • wget

And I probably forgot a few.
