[TriLUG] JOB? - create customized distro

[Christopher L Merrill]

Thanks!  That's good info.  Do you know if the rPath solution is
dependent on the software that we want to run being available as a linux
package?  We use an executable installer for our software, so it's not
"packaged" in the linux sense.
