What about the fact that we've always had a single merged distro layout for 2.1/3/4/5 ? There is a fairly consistent user experience and user expectation built around that as well, right ?
That's a good question. In recent years the size of all linux distibutions is greatly increased.
The other possibility: We make 2 DVDs for CentOS6 containing all packages. In any case, I would appreciate if we offer a network install CD like Red Hat.
Just out of curiosity, what is the total size of server + workstation? (I only have access to RHEL 6 Server DVD, so I don't know how much Workstation adds to it).
Don't know as I don't have a Workstation subscription either, but the 64-bit multilib Server DVD is 3273MB containing 3432 packages, and the optional channel contains a further 2672 packages (there might be a few errata in there by now so it might actually be a few less than that).
Personally I would suggest a 2 DVD set for everything, and a somewhat lighter "Server" DVD as per upstream that has room to grow during subsequent update releases. That combined with the minimal network install ISO image should cover most people's requirements?
