What would be nice is if the install CDs came with a small number of "profiles" (mini, midi & maxi) and made it easy to pick a profile and install/upgrade to the system described in it. Nicer still would be if there was a way to create custom profiles for specific purposes. Then you have an easy way to clone the same setup to multiple machines.
