I think that building RPMs and .deb packages should be a big part of
the presentation.  Most people can probably figure out how to install/uninstall
packages on their on own.  The building of packages is pretty difficult.
Also, I'm interested in taking apart RPMs for use in other systems. 
Also, a section on how RPM is different from other packaging systems 
is a good idea.

There is another Linux distribution format out.  I think it is called
stampede or something.  Does anyone know anything about this or does
anyone want to talk about it?

Craig
