OK, I just posted the exact counterpart to this message to another list,
so bear with me...
There's a project, called Linnet, started almost exactly the same time as
SEUL. Its goal is to create a distribution for Linux servers. I am on
both lists, and both lists are having almost the exact same discussions on
configuration mechanisms, end goals, etc.
Instead of expending the effort to repeat myself, I'll just quote myself:

This means that SEUL and Linnet need to start talking and likely develop
a configuration standard and tools that are the same for both projects
(and others). Then the development of an admin tool for the Linnet box
and a remote-admin tool for the SEUL boxes would complete the mix and
you'd have a complete suite of applications for the entire corporate
environment.
