I'm kind of wary about this division into desktop, kde-desktop and server.
Will they all come on the same dvd, or do I have to select which one to
download before installing? If they come separate, and I select (gnome)
desktop, say, does it mean I can't run k3b or qtparted? Does it mean I
can't install apache? Can someone please clarify why the separation? On my
machines there is no clear cut separation between
desktop/workstation/server. I have countless packages that I bet will be
from all release types. 

Oh, and could someone please make a kernel rpm independent of SELinux?
