I wonder how the RH/CentOS guys know what standard services you'll run 
on your server?  If I were packaging it, I'd either assume that since 
you're installing you want it on (that's what Debian does with mailman) 
or at least ask you at install time whether it should be on or not.

Oh, wait.  Maybe CentOS installs everything it has by default.  Then 
they don't want everything running, nor do they want to ask you hundreds 
of times what to turn on.  I guess that might make sense--seems to me 
that Solaris is similar (for some set of stuff they consider core).  I'm 
so spoiled to be using Debian.  I used to think Linux was Linux and I 
could work with it anywhere.  But I guess I really would need retraining 
before I could do a RH job.
