I would be so please with the help of the phorun to propose open a new
branch into the Debian community dedicated to ISP.
Whom of you're interested??

I imagine an install, giving possibilities of Raid, backup, replication,
networking etc from the start, all necessary tools and programs, in a
compact, easy to use distribution with some "ncursed" ISP specific
administration tools. Something secure, minimalistic (I like the word and
the concept) and with some optimization possibilities.
does-it still seem confuse? Is it "une idee farfelue"?

Subject: Re: Defining ISP?
Hi,
what i used to do is install a base system and then install some of the
package packs i've defined.
For example, if what i want is install a web server with php % perl
support i use a config file what i've defined myself which contains this:
apt-get install apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork
libapache2-mod-auth-mysql libapache2-mod-perl2 php4-common
libmailtools-perl libhtml-format-perl bzip2 file libio-socket-ssl-perl
ca-certificates libapache2-mod-php4 php4-mysql php4-pear
For the rest of services exactly the same. I'v defined manually the
whole list of packages needed for web server, ftp server, irc server,
mail server (smtp, pop and imap), antivirus server, etc...
If you can build a local mirror of you version of debian, i.e. sarge,
you can do local network installations, and your installs will be so fast.
That work fine for me at least :)

Most ISP will probably have different servers for the different services
and on each of them they will start with a secure base install with as few
software installed as possible and then just install apache/postfix/proftpd
whatever they need and customize it.
I don't see a big bonus in a special ISP distribution. A better
integration of iptables firewalls, vlans or traffic shapers would be nice
but that's nothing ISP specific.

P.S.: pbuilder is a nice tool to build minimal installations that you
can just untar onto a new harddisk
