Re: are "print server" and "ssh server" needed?

Okay, thanks guys.

I think I will skip the ssh-server task, as a security measure (they can't pick a lock that isn't there). 

I will also skip the print-server task for now, and just add that once I get a new printer.

Hi.

I am getting ready to do a new install of Debian 7.0.0 (Wheezy) on a home pc with local printer attached, no local network, just internet connection to outside world, not used for office or business purposes.

The installer asks what pre-selected software "task groups" are to be installed.  Pre-selected are:

    - desktop environment

    - standard utilities

    - print server

    - ssh server

In this scenario, I am not sure why the print server and ssh server are pre-selected.  Are the really useful, or would they just take up space and add complexity? 

Any opinions?
