Too many choices == nobody will use any of them, they'll go somewhere else. I'm probably repeating myself but here's my proposal: 1. Workstation is a winner. Keep it. 2. Replace the spins - yes, *all* of them - with a Netinstall disk that has selectable kickstart files for installing them. It's close to that now anyway. 3. I see no need for a separate "cloud hosting" install medium that's any different from Server. A cloud host *is* a server. 4. Docker base image: keep it, but recognize that there's a *huge* effort involved in getting users. Ubuntu and CentOS have the lion's share and the bobcat's share respectively. Debian has a kitten's share mostly because Docker recommends it. I'm using Fedora, but I'd switch to CentOS if all the texlive packages I need were in the EPEL repositories. _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
