There's a lot to be said for the inefficiency of the human choosing options. Hrm, I can even get to a FreeBSD + AMP in about 10min too. I'll have to post specs. So far it seems that SUSE sucks. :) I can get an Ubuntu Server + LAMP stack installed in 10min or less without the aid of any kickstart, preseed, etc. Adding in a kickstart/preseed file and it cuts down to about 5-6 like Christer said.

Nothing else? With Red Hat and Kickstart, this should be accomplished in under 5 minutes. All you need is the DVD .iso, a fully built kickstart, and a bootable disk to launch it. As an instructor for Guru Labs, we did installs all the time. Installing everything- SSH, DNS, DHCP, PXE, NFS, FTP, HTTP, SMTP, XINETD, X11, and many, many others generally happened in under 10 minutes- fully configured too, with users and groups, firewall, TCP wrappers, SELinux- the whole ball of wax. Of course, this assumes local installs, and not over the network. Once that machine is installed, you could "image" it with the anaconda-ks.cfg in /root. Put it under an HTTP dir, restart Apache, then PXE boot the rest of the machines. Depending on your hardware, you should be able to image 20 machines in exactly the same configuration in under 15 minutes, if they are on a fully-switch 100 Mbit network. Go gigabit, and it shouldn't take you longer than 10 minutes. Of course, theoretically, you can do this with AutoYAST and SUSE, preseed and Ubuntu, and so forth. *JUST* those packages- Apache, MySQL and PHP? Nothing else?

That's the way I roll :) Gabe Christer,

I'd squeal with glee to actually see that happen. What can we set up? I would honestly and truly enjoy beholding such a feat. My house or yours? :) Christer,
