A lot of attention has been given to the huge group of independent
developers and companies that create a huge volume of Linux software
that is Apache, MySQL and Perl/Python/PHP centered. O'Reilly has
created a seperate web page dedicated to those people/projects. What I
don't get is why Red Hat, SuSE or Mandrake don't have a single-CD distro
aimed at supporting this crowd.
As a LAMP developer, I would love to point people intersted in my
software toward a LAMP distro and say, "If you're intested in this
software, but don't have a Linux computer, just download this distro,
install it and then install our software over it." To my way of
thinking, this small, "specialized" server distro would reqire very
little in the way of additional maintenance cost for any of the
established Linux distro companies, and provide an excellent "gateway
Linux" to get whole companies hooked on thier product.
