While I find the notion of theming SMGL to SF or Fantasy related concepts 
refreshing, there are in my opinion other things that could be done in the 
functional aspect of the distro.

I will soon be running a specialized hosting service with a couple of racked 
computers in a co-location facility(yes, I might have capacity for 
SMGL-stuff), and I'm currently underway of settings up the servers. What I 
really would like to see is a second level of abstraction for in my case 
installing single or multiple task servers, like:

[name of command] webserver
[name of command] mailserver
[name of command] dns
etc.

I don't just mean spells like the kde or gnome2 profile ones, but something 
more integrated that not just installs the various spells, but also 
integrates them into a working environment. What I'm basically looking for is 
a "recommended/preconfigured setup" concept. Choice is good, but it can also 
get tedious, cumbersome and repetitive .

As you might suspect I'm mostly used to running SMGL in a hedless 
environment... I actually have no idea what the majority of you use SMGL for, 
but I find this distro to be exellent for server puposes.
