Where do you see "Fedora 12 Server Edition"? Nowhere, because we don't have it. I was shouting whole morning on IRC to Server Spin folks about it, but I think we are really missing Server Spin. Something which wouldn't be useful as enterprise grade server (because we don't have enough long time support for Fedora; please, don't go into this flamewar now!), but as a project to develop such beast.
And of course, it is yet another post, where I ask somebody else to do something, which I won't do :).
We have a server spin, and it's boot.iso/netinst.iso. And no, I am not joking. Servers are installed by starting with the smallest possible package set to get the system booted and on the network, then adding the specific functionality you want the server to perform, such as http server, or mail server. Nothing more. It is the very essence of start from nothing, add what you want.
