Not quite,
Its about having a virgin environment with nothing on it apart from a link
to the internet and starting to build a server. One size certainly does not
fit all but having a vanilla flavoured version to use and learn on could
be useful. I want to be able to get a cobbler server up and running and
then subsequently my servers in a very quick time and I do not feel it is
currently possible. But let me do some more head scratching and contribute
a few updates to the docs and take it from there.

Regards
