[Tfug] Software packages for new web server

[Matt Jacob]

Hi everyone,

I'll be getting my own web server soon, and this will be the first time 
I've administered a publicly-accessible box on my own. (What I do at 
work only half counts, because we already have procedures and standards 
in place to keep me from having to make too many decisions on my own.) 
I've got a general idea of the software packages I want to install, but 
I'd also like some insight from you guys (obviously, or else I wouldn't 
be posting this message).

The box is basically going to host a couple of my own sites and a few 
sites for friends, organizations, etc. (I'm planning on using scponly to 
give them jailed SSH/SCP access to their web directories). There's also 
going to be some mail serving, but it'll be restricted to just a few 
actual accounts and a bunch of forwarders.

With that in mind, here's what I'm thinking of:

Debian Etch
Apache
MySQL
PostgreSQL
PHP/Python/Perl, etc.
Postfix
Dovecot
vsftpd
scponly

Have I forgotten anything? Is there a better choice I should be using 
instead of what's listed above?

Thanks!

Matt
