I've mentioned this on IRC, but after finally getting off my seat and creating a forums account, I thought I'd make the suggestion here for the public. How about node distros for CentOS-3 or WBEL? I'm partial to CentOS; it seems to have a "cleaner" look than WBEL. But beyond that, they're pretty much identical (both RHEL rebuild projects).

CentOS 3.1 is deployed to all the hosts. It's still under review (thanks fo0bar), so all you RHEL users out there give it a shot and let me know if you find any weirdness.

CentOS is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the "commercial" distribution in which Red Hat will provide updates for (in source form) for the next few years at least. The CentOS people have compiled the source and packeged the CentOS distribution around it.

Enjoy!
