I am also quite keen on the idea of retaining our single-merged distro, atleast as the main option. And then perhaps a slightly light(er) weight alternative.
Well, I'd suggest starting with the package set on the upstream Server disk as that looks fairly complete to me. There are some common "Desktop" packages missing that might want to be added - evolution, pidgin, thunderbird, xchat, and maybe even OpenOffice if there's room, but most stuff is already there.
the upstream server product is almost a full DVD in itself. Is it worth having the main distro on 2 DVD, and another option which is still a complete'ish DVD ? If we are going to work out a lightweight CD size'd install media, is it worth then also having the full DVD'ish option over and above the 2 DVD disk full distro ?
unless the CD offers all that's needed for a lightweight SMB (as in small business) server, it's not worth the effort ( at least not for European users; I cannot speak for other parts of the world ). A server edition on 1 DVD and a full-edition on 2 ( or more) DVDs satisfies me completely.
