Best practices installs only necessary software.
It also installs and starts mysql-server and starts the service. For a
simple FE, unnecessary.
Of concern in my instance is a test netbook that I use, which has an
extremely small SSD.
Anyone know why mysql-server installs for a FE? I can see client libs
and client being installed, but not the server.
