But whats included in the user server? And the kernel server? What do
they share? ETC..
The idea is that for each main group of stuff (stuff which always goes
together) gets its own mini-package..
ugidd being a very good example of this, for most cases it can even be a
security hole, however I use it on my internal network which is behind a
firewall..
You then have a set of packages which depend on the little packages but
only contain the /usr/doc/<package> files..
(ie the client, user server, kernel server, etc)
