I'll say amen to that.

We currently have representatives from a company that has recently
resolved a few public legal issues here showing off their unattended
installer, and they're crowing about getting their product installed
on a server in "a little over 30 minutes". 

The RH 7.2 kickstart gets the OS on the box and the server configured
for deployment in the data center in a little under 15.

And the web server on RH doesn't have an exploit of the week feature,
either.
