close... but i was thinking of a higher level goal. and in fact, progeny may already be here. i was envisioning a system where you could essentially download/install the package for the given system... the package you got would have everything you'd need to run that given service (or services). this approach would allow development teams/users to quickly get up to work, while at the same time, allow admin functions to be done by people who would already know what was on a given server... nothing on the progeny site leads me to believe that they provide the kind of packaged systems that i'm envisioning. but at the same time, nothing would appear to stop them from going in that direction either... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Matthew Miller Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 1:13 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: OT: What's the deal with Ubuntu?
