I absolutely think this is something we should focus on. From the CentOS
side, we have a ton of interest in our minimal iso. There are a number of
folks who use it in conjunction with puppet/cfengine to deploy things. This
may potentially bleed into (or overlap with ) the cloud sig folks.
Are we planning an install dvd that asks folks what to install from
a
list of things we ship on the dvd (and optionally the net)?
Do we make a livecd type image that has a curated selection of server
services we want that can be used live or installed?
Is there a use case for a livecd server setup? There's probably something
for this, but I'm interested in what others think.
I realize it's somewhat backwards to think about deliverables
before we
have fully thought of what we are shipping and to who, but short term I
don't know that we have a lot of options and narrowing that down might
help narrow down other things. Of course longer term we could implement
any sort of deliverable we have time/energy to do.
I don't think it's overly backwards. A minimal iso etc is some low-hanging
fruit we could get done early while we work on the rest.
Speaking only for myself, in the enterprise area, something like the
netinstall iso with just enough stuff to install further stuff would be
what I would use. For home use, it's nice to have something that works
from usb, I could see using most any kind of image there. I've
personally not burned a DVD in many years.
Agreed. Most deployments I've seen these days are pxe, netinstall, or usb.
Alternately we could push the boot.fedora bits as well.
