A lot of this sounds like what Ubuntu has done with their JeOS release. Minimal install, no extra open ports. 100MB ISO. Well suited for a single server VM box. If this could be combined with Red Hat's strengths in iptables and SELinux, I think it would be a winner, especially as a starting point for enterprise VMs. Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
