Our production environments are debian stable+backports, and all web application dependencies should be debian packages from stable+backports. I don't think we need any fast moving startup infrastructure: just debootstrap, puppet to configure the VM (or a copy of the server's apache configuration), and apt-get. We are a distribution, and already we do very good integration work. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enr...@enricozini.org>
