Wow, Great, Seems the balling is rolling forward and there is great feedback from every one. <br>1. Just want to confirm that I am in. <br>2. I would also vote for CentOS and vmware. <br>3. How about sipp, which can be a good performance testing tool.
<br>4. I hope we will be using latest release (or at least 2nst last stable release) of kernel, mysql, apache, php, perl etc. The reason I mentioned this is that, serweb had issues with Apache 2.x and php 5.x.<br><br>Cheers,

creating this project, I think the ultimate goal should be something
<br>like an ISO that's ready to go on a server. There are many of us in the<br>systems world who have not bought into the whole virtualisation<br>marketing gimmick when it comes to system deployment, and for the casual
<br>home user who's less comfortable with using VMs for an actual production<br>system (which is, to be honest, a lot of people), it might be easier in<br>the long term to get everything the way we want it and then make an ISO
<br>that's ready to drop onto whatever machine with all the components we need.<br><br>BUT... first things first. :) We need a list of everything that's going<br>to be in this bundle.<br></div></div></div></blockquote>

<div>we also need to look at modular solution.</div>
