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.
