Yeah. Basically there are several things to think about: * Does the package start and function in a useful manner right after install of the Fedora package? Or does it need to have configuration done to it? Firewall ports opened? databases loaded? Passwords set? * Does the package expose the user to additional risk by allowing network access? Ie, someone installs the package but doesn't want to use it yet, shouldn't they have to actively enable it when they are ready? * Is the package needing to run to help with the normal functioning of the machine? Some things like dbus would fall under this. kevin
