Perhaps we should also start thinking about deliverables (both short
term and longer term)? 

Are we planning a netinstall iso type thing thats the bare needed to
run yum to install other packages? (This may be something the base
group makes?)

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?

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. 

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.
