+that is a good idea!
+
+also:
+* drakups: for serial upses, a must!
+* drakpxelinux: a must for people who do this, but it does need to be 
+redesigned, because PXE installs don't even work anymore out of the box; the 
+whole PXE stuff needs to be adjusted, imo.
+* i think people still need drakfax, i heard someone talking about that
+* never used drakvirt, but i hate redhat's tool.
