This sounds great actually. I hate being in the business of trying to pair down redhat/fedora for our clients, as well as our servers. I'd love a 'java/cipe/tn5250/cron' machine out of the box. I know all this can be done with kickstart etc, but I get tired of doing it, and would like to have someone else save me that time. It's cheaper for me to be writing code and using an out of box solution, than having to figure out the latest dependencies for my own mini-special purpose distro.

I think that's probaly what will happen too. Fedora will add more options to there initial setup list. Not just Server, Workstation, Laptop, but also Router, VPN client, Mailserver, Webserver etc. It would just simplify things a little. Of course you'll still have to customeize them to get hings just right, thus defeating the entire purpose, but just maybe it'll make it a little eaiser.

I need my morning Jolt don't I?
