OpenSSH server
SSH (Secure Shell) is
a protocol to get encrypted remote access to a machine. The machine you want to
access needs to run a SSH server to accept incoming requests. OpenSSH is an
implementation of SSH. Next to shell access and file transfer (SFTP, SCP), SSH
enables fancy things, such as starting an application on the server, but show
the GUI on the client (X11 forwarding).
DNS server
The Domain Name System, short
DNS, resolves addresses, like google.com to IP 74.125.200.138 addresses
like , which makes the internet more usable to human beings. For DNS lookups,
the clients, e.g. web browsers, send a request to a DNS server in order to
retrieve the IP address of the required service.
LAMP server
LAMP =
Linux Apache MySQL PHP, pretty much explains it: This package contains an
Apache web server (a server that e.g. delivers websites), with a MySQL backend
(A database management system), and a PHP interpreter (PHP is a scripting
language that is executed on the server before sending the result to the
client, in this setup through the Apache server).
Mail server
A server that
is responsible for delivering E-Mail,
both for sending and receiving, depending on the setup.
PostgreSQL server
PostgreSQL is, like
MySQL, a database management system. A database server enables clients to send
queries to the server and returns the results.
Print server
On a default
Desktop Ubuntu, there is a printing system called CUPS installed. CUPS
works as a server, on which the printers are installed. Every time you print
something on Ubuntu, it sends the print job to a print server, either on the
same system, or to another. E.g. in my school, there is a central print server
students send their print jobs to, and then the print server takes care of the
printing.
Samba file
server
Samba is an
implementation of the SMB (Server
Message Block) protocol, which can be used as a network file system. SMB
clients can mount drives published by a SMB server.
Tomcat is another web
service, responsible for delivering JSP content, i.e. dynamic website
generation.
This option
installs KVM, a host
for running virtual machines.
We get all these software selection option at the time of
installing the server. We can get back to this selection at any time by
installing the following pancake:
#apt-get install tasksel
#tasksel
After installing the
following package will get a window like this and will able to select any
package as per our requirement.
