Now, for version 6, they have:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Scalable File System (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Resilient Storage (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux Load Balancer (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node FasTrack (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Linux High Performance Network (v. 6) Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
They have the same install groups with different packages based on the above groupings, so we have to do some kind of custom generation of the comps files to things work.
Wait, are you saying that a given install group name installs different packages, depending on the release name? I mean, if I were working on the team, I'd build an Everything release group, and just have subsets, based on which release group was chosen.

No what I mean is, there is an "install group" named "ha" (with a High Availability description) whose definition might contain 20 packages on the Server media set, 15 packages on Workstation media set, 8 packages on the Desktop Media set, and 50 packages on Resilient Storage media set.
Oy! And are those on different media? I mean, how many DVD's is RH producing these days, and do you have to buy one or the other?
CentOS only has one product ... so we need a compilation of the install information from all of the different media groups ... what you would have found in the AS type product of EL3. Only now we have to build this compilation from all the component parts, or else we can not allow group type installations from within the installer.
Which is very appreciated. "Productization", making trying to build a system harder.
ha was one example, but "office programs" or "graphical internet" are other examples.
Right - I had to edit our perl ks.cgi, because they changed the name or spelling of things like office, or gnome, or KDE....
