Seeking comments:
I'm thinking we need a server mini-distro ISO. The idea would be to
facilitate creating servers cafeteria-style... in other words, à la
carte (ALaCartiX?).
Basically it would go something like this:
a) Install the ISO.
b) Add your favorite auto-update tool[1].
c) Point it at your desired set of server packages from your favorite
binary package repository[2].
d) Turn it loose.
Now that Joerg -- followed by Moinak and Nexenta -- have developed and
documented how to create OpenSolaris ISOs w/ HDD installation, and now
that the packaging tools binaries have been relicensed, I would think
this would be really easy to do.
