Agreed.  Out of interest, have you actually built many servers from
scratch for production use?  What do you use as your build
environment? I'm imagining you installing linux on a partition, then
using that to build your minimal install on another partition, then
blowing away the first linux install... Or do you use something like
knoppix?  I'm curious.
