That I think is where a Ferdora Server spin would add a lot of value: if
it came with the tools that are necessary to set up various 'server

There's a good amount of overlap with this idea and the 'virtual
appliances' that everybody likes these days. From a sysadmin's point of
view, the two should be very similar.
