I think that's highly unlikely. No volunteer-driven Linux distro is
going to produce the type of turnkey commodity system Henri describes.
Volunteers are generally techies who value flexibility and choice; for a
distro to serve all the needs of its contributors (and why else would
they contribute ?), flexibility and choice are crucial.
What he describes is typically the product of after-market niche
packagers producing things like netbooks. Real-world distributions are
in the business of appealing to as many people as possible, and
certainly not in the business of saving a small business owner the cost
of hiring a sysadmin to customize the distro to his exact needs.
