CentOS/Red Hat install question

ajmatson

Hello gurus, trying to see if anyone knows a tell tale file in Red Hat/CentOS to tell what "mode" a machine was installed, such as "Desktop", "Basic Server", etc. I checked the anaconda-ks.cfg but only shows the packages not the type selected

lsud00d

The packages that are installed will help determine what version is installed. If you see more 'desktop' based packages, well then it's probably the Desktop version.

This link is relevant:

I might do a

grep -i *desktop* anaconda-ks.cfg | wc -l

to see how many desktop packages there are.
