Thank you Fred, I cannot (but I'll try :) explain how useful this is to us.

We started with mod-perl around 1999, I believe. We used/had to do
do every thing by hand. A typical web server machine build
took 2 to 4 days and involved:

in rare cases make and install gcc
install the base linux distribution
make and install a custom kernel
make and install required kernel modules
make and install perl 5
make and install apache, mod-perl, mod-ssl etc.

I am sure I am missing stuff. There were no central repositories.
You had to visit each source site manually. The software stack was
rarely updated, once you got it working you left it alone ;)

Now we build a machine in 2-4 hours;
- linux install
- yum install *many things*
- yum update

Thank you once again.

Dave
