[LUNI] VPS ..

Is the options you get in ubuntu's alternate installer enough?  Your quest
sounds like something marketable, and I have spent quite a bit of time doing
automated installs.

Btw, amazon's vm's do reset, but not the s3 storage.  So you make an image
that connects to s3, and that is where dynamic data is stored.

So..

easyvmx, turnkeylinux don't do what I want.  It seems like they have
pre-packed solutions.. but they don't allow you for the mix and match
which is essentially what I was looking for.  I can make a simple
image that does lamp, or tomcat or whatnot.. but having the ability to
just check a checkbox and add or remove features and generate on the
image on the fly is what's most valuable (to me) .


rpath seems like it could some of what I want.. but only seems to
support Centos/rpath.  susestudio, is very much tied to SuSe.

bitnami studio seems to be the most promising one.  Though the last
time I touched amazon hosted services s3 etc.. their VMs would reset
state on reboot.. so having something like a webpage wasn't very
useful.  It seemed more targetted a dummy nodes for number crunching.
Make a template.. have them connect to this host to configure
themselves..and receive jobs... when you're done computing.. shut them
down... or reboot, reset state..and start computing again.

Things like hosted solutions and persistent content seemed .. painful.
 This was a few years ago...

Thanks for the input btw... I'm gonna see what bitnami can do.. it
could be my ideal solution right now.
