You may find that other packages are not installed by default some of which 
you
will need and no I have forgotten what one's but check that xinetd might be
one as I recall that was missing from one distro.

Also some distros do NOT allow remote access by default so you will have to go
through the firewall settings to enable such - I opened them all then closed
down one's I knew that are not required but I suggest you do it the other way 
leave all closed and only open up for software that you wish in.
Here in my case was the BBS itself, httpd and ftp for remote file access.

I have others as I run other server software as well as IBM (mainframe) stuff.
