Exactly. As interesting as this is, the focus of this project is Red
Hat. Everybody willing to do the same thing on other distro has our
best wishes, but let's deal with our main task now.

And consider that much of what we will do as post install
configuration will be by its own nature easily portable to other
environments. The installer, file system structure, and package
dependencies (**) are not (not without a *******lot****** of work, anyway)

(**) Including in that dependencies from kernel versions and patches,
gcc, glibc...........
