Perhaps it would be worth packaging "client" and "server" stuff separately? As a dial-up 'netter, I don't have much use for httpd/gopherd/gated and friends, but ftptool and the likes are essential! (A "graphical client" package could also include a script to ncftp and install Netscape, kind of like OS/2 Warp has an icon which goes and fetches their Web browser.) Mark.
