I was talking to a friend of mine who is a Linux admin who I have introduced to Joomla. He had some suggestions, which may or may not be in the works, but I wanted to share them. If there is a more direct place to make such suggestions please kindly let me know. :-)

There should be a movement to include Joomla as an extra for the Fedora distributions (and other Linux such as CentOS). Installing it with an RPM and during system setup would bring over a lot of people.

For example, Fedora 7 installed the latest version of MediaWiki during his last installation. MW is probably more difficult to install than Joomla.

It would also be very helpful for it to install by default with the demo data for Joomla including handling the creation of the MySQL database.

While many of us consider an installation of Joomla to be a simple thing, if it were already there it is more likely that the users would try it out.
