I, for one, would certainly like to see a redhat variant (fedora or centos or the like). I've run into a number of issues with the default ubuntu builds, such as:
broken gd implementation in php -- imagerotate() function and a couple others aren't there because the distro maintainers refuse to build it in, so one has to recompile php (or re-write their app) if they need those functions things are in weird places... php.ini in /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini? with softlinks to conf.d being ../conf.d setting the hostname / domain name is all based on having things in the right order in the hosts file and mucking about with a bunch of other files -- this is so solaris 5 ;P my familiarity with ubuntu / debian distros is low ;) (which may explain one of my major annoyances... is there an equivalent of yum search <package>?) There's more of course, but it's all nitpicky things like the above, so I won't bore you with them all. Of course, all of the things I've found are pretty easily worked around, but given the amount of time I've had to spend recompiling and figuring out where things live in ubuntu and searching for packages that I needed, it would be nice to have some images based on redhat. Now that I've had my whine, is there something I can do to help add some fedora / centos images to the mix? I imagine that creating a base image with your scalr scripts wouldn't take too many modifications to get an image up and running...
