I agree that such a solution would indeed be great for end users,
however I fear that it would be a horrible support issue for
RedHat. I don't think we'll ever see such fragmentation of the
distribution. Just imagine some user going out and buying
"RedHat Linux", and not seeing the "E-solution" fineprint, and
ending up with an embedded version of RHL with no GUI, when what
they were looking for was Windows95ix... Bad idea.

Yep, the more the merrier. RedHat is good with watching the
lists for ideas, etc..
