indeed - why should installfest install distro's that there aren't at
least 2 people on Plug list capable of looking at their system to answer
'specific' questions about that distro?

good things to have:
- pdf or html reference guide for configuration after installation
- user accessible tool for managing firewall
- gui tools for system administration (or else after install, put webmin
on)

Lastly - install should boot and be able to log on into gui, create
normal user account and log into that account
