The User-Build-System will be the key component for our adaptation.  Since the
Linux Society seeks to develop a release that is both operational and
educational, we are very eager to get started.

At this point, I have about half-a-dozen developers wishing to start writing
boot scripts, especially hardware detection and disk/swap use.

I am personally interested developing a build system and deployment
documentation as part of our distributed paradigm.

The area of deployment we are interested in is the "single IP network" where a
single network connection supports a small enterprise.  These would include
cafes, resturants, schools and other venues that seek to create an Internet
presence.

Apache 2 can support this for various web servers and port redirection systems
need to be developed for other services.

It is too bad that my "reverse engineering" attempt failed to produce a
bootable CD (the mount command had to be run twice to work), this would have
created a very simple user enhancement solution.  I would still like to see why
this failed.  Maybe corruption along the way...
