I was wondering what this list really means! Are these packages for the
server CD? Or are these packages part of a server related package list?
Sorry for these basic questions but I think I'm not the only one wondering
about it.

For example: mailman is an important server package but nobody needs it on
the actual install CD. If you want to setup a mailinglist server an admin
should be able to install everything related after the initial install by
her-/himself. The same with bacula, apache, tomcat, nagios and so on.
A little bit more info would be great. Even to hear which Ubuntu groups
(website, mailinglists and so on) decide what makes it to the server
distribution of Ubuntu.

Is it possible to get the list sorted alphabetically by package name? And
to get a complete list on one page? These paging makes everything very
confusing.
