since sending this email i have been thinking a lot about it. bzip2 is fine for
many sys admins but we have the problem of the redhat users (dont take this the
wrong way please) that have used no other distributions and have only ever
installed an rpm before, for these users bzip2 would get confusing. im more
inclined to have multiple distribution's, a standard user one which would be
base+mysql+mcrypt+zlib and not much more, an oracle one etc. the only problem is
working out what modules people are mostly using. *grin*
any other suggestions?
