good idea
Wouldnt be that hard, we just need to uninstall enlightenment and make an iso hehe
It would be ..... the intended people for a server on Elive certainly won't be seasoned admins so you'll have to make an installer that leads noobs the way, in setting up a secure and simple working server.
On top, how would an Elive server differ from Debian server?
The main difference from a Debian Server to a Elive Server would be the helpers.
- Eltrans would be an improvement for the whole world
- apug, but I am not aware of the advantages
- you name it
Even if I am a Cloud administrator right now (AzureAD/O365), a 'server' is still bare metal with a local cmd, build for much hardware with at least a https interface.
But today a server is so much more. LXD, Docker, ... Virtualization is coming.
And it is so easy right now to find a distribution, that will provide a special service. Or a service, that will provide working docker container. Who needs to know about security?
Once I've seen a Live-System for MapR (Big Data Solution). They give out a VCard with an USB stick, with a fully working VirtualBox/ESXi demo.
A few years after I've got this card, I worked on a virtual server, where they just put virtual hard drives to the image, changed the license key and worked in production with a 'demo' ... The reason is simple: There where a lot of BigData people, but the admins has had no time. So they got the Demo VM and instead of setup a whole environment, they just used what was already there.
My task was to see why it stuck. BigData with a standard kernel and 16GB RAM ... In the end it was just a lot of data, not BigData, but this is another topic.
This memory comes up often, when I'm reading 'Elive'. A live system in 'production'. Even as home desktop.
Even if I would be happy to have something as eltrans for more than Elive, I don't think a server should be too easy.

Ah yeah, good point.
The zsh/vim configuration. Sure, you can install ohmyzsh, but to be perfectly honest I prefer the out of box Elive prompt over my powerlevel10k prompt for my chromebook.
