RPM is your friend if you learn it well (and use apt/yum)...
i did package management for a (very small userbase) distro for a while and after that, i found RPM to be my sworn enemy :p
my bigger issues w/ most rpm-based ones is that i'm not a huge fan of RH and thus that carries to the other RPM-based distros ... that and it pains me to have 500 packages installed on one machine that uses less than half, but i can't uninstall, because of dependency hell (the reason i'll use FreeBSD over RH *ANY* day for server use)
so is there any performance gain / other reason to separate out frontend and backend? i currently have my slack-current system configured as both ... i don't really have any other "beefier" machines ... the two other servers i have (firewall/router ... fileserver) are old PII 233MHz Dells...
