Since OP did not mention any of this, and given the level of his
question, I took the liberty to assume whatever I thought would be
funny. It's even more feasible to take one CD set or a snapshot ISO
and install it on thousands of machines, afterwards wielding the
immense power of rm(1) via siteXX.tgz, puppet, or whatever means
tickles your fancy (set it up right and you could even leave it in
place on your webserver). At least it saves you the work of compiling
your OS (which developers do for you). Pretty useful if you're not
familiar enough with the system to answer basic questions like "should
I be running a system without Apache and how can I make it so ?".
Cheers,
