Default Software

Obviously, since these are you servers, you can install anything you like! A shared drive contains all the packages available for your distribution so you can install more software without downloading anything, and without using space.
All distributions provide shells and default Unix utilities,
This is installed and enabled by default with all virtual servers:

OpenSSH for remote connection
Apache web server
