OT: What's the deal with Ubuntu?

[bruce]

oded...

it's more than that... i'm envisioning a single/simple process for the
user... you take a blank machine... insert a basic floppy/cd and you begin
the process to build the machine for a given service...

this process would ensure that everything needed to work for that given
service(s) is reasonably tested, and that it works....

ps.. there'd be alot more to do in order to get this kind of approach to
work... but the high level goal, would be to have minimal targeted systems
for specific tasks/services...

Bruce,

this is a grate thought,

i believe this can be done easily by installing the basic fedora and
creating yum groups for all the machine types...

it's not a hard job, and i think it is something to think about...
