Would be nice to have a list of RPM availables for the releases, together with their text header you get by rpm -qi, and possibly also whether they are installed by default or not, depending on the chosen installation method. Having a rough idea on the disc space needed for installation would also help. With the plone power, that would probably be a matter of little python script(s). Concerning plone products, maybe a board would be helpfull (cmfboard?) As far as I can help, what I can provide (once I've done it, of course ;-) ) is a report on how the installation went on my specific laptop (the kind of things you can find on http://linux-laptop.net/ and that I found very usefull both when choosing the laptop to buy and then to actually install linux on it).
