Something to keep in mind that most of the above could be handled by exactly the same software loadout. For example: There is no difference between Desktop, Fileserver, Webserver, Auth Server loadouts that matters; you just turn off the services by default and let the customization process turn on the services that matter for that role. It doesn't matter if the webserver has openoffice installed; it's just a few bits on disk. It might be worth reading http://www.infrastructures.org/papers/bootstrap/bootstrap.html before getting flavour happy. M
