I believe he wants to template. He was saying he doesn't want to actually build 
a box, then burn that....

A dozen years ago, I really *liked* Solaris (and, of course, Sun 3). But Linux 
has *so* much added functionality (and key bindings, let's not forget that....) 
I had to build a PHP 4 environment, and had some trouble, on Solaris 10. *THEN* 
I find production is 8, and I went through hell to build, wound up getting a 
lot of stuff from the Sun freeware site....

My boss and I are seriously looking forward to replacing the Sun boxes with Linux.
