In the world of Docker, for instance, best practices like not mixing packaging systems go by the wayside, so you could use pip or gem or npm or whatever tickles you. Most of those can be installed by wget'ing a tarball or the ol' 'curl | bash' abomination.

Still, I prefer to have yum.

curl bash is tricky... wget and verify + rpm install is better :)

however, would this micro image be consumeable under docker ? I didnt think we need a single block type file for docker images ( also, this image will need a boot flag and grub to make it usable under virt, that again might get in the way of docker )
