Playing around with openfiler, and the #1 thing I hate is the ability to customize it with other packages (of which ...i'll say conary is horrible... or at least what they have in the repository is). Tinkering around with compiling for source... and it's been... well a hassle.

Yeah I ran a distro based on Conary and didn't really care for it, when Openfiler went the conary direction, I wasn't thrilled.  But I can understand from an appliance standpoint why they did.  No offense to the fine Rpath folks on here :)
