Goal
Installation is the first contact with Fedora Server for new users and should be as optimal and satisfying an experience as possible. That means, in addition to a smooth and error-free installation flow, above all, good information and orientation about what is being installed and for what purpose.
It should be considered whether the current status is still up to date and/or can be improved.
Details
Basic Software Selection Items
(a) Fedora Server Edition An integrated, easier to manage server
(b) Fedora Custom Operating System Basic building block for a custom Fedora system
These formulations are partly tautological and lack differentiating features and decision recommendations
(a) is our "Branding" and as such unchangeable
We need a more precise description of the essential content/features. What would that be? What makes us different from Debian or Ubuntu Server? What is especially important to us?
(b) ist also based on Server defaults. We don't install a generic Operating System. More precise would therefore be something like: Minimal basic Fedora server
What is the basic idea behind the feature selection? Who or under what conditions do we recommend to choose this option?
Additional Options
In addition to the basic alternatives, we offer a number of additional installation options.
In all cases, there is no recommendation as to the conditions under which the option should be selected.
(1) Container Management Tools for managing Linux containers
The description is redundant. Instead we should say something like "Installs podman podman, as secure and ...." (whatever we think makes Podman special)
Install this option if you want to additionally host podman / docker container. For a dedicated container host without additional services consider to chose Fedora CoreOS instead of Fedora Server.
(2) Domain Membership Support for joining a #FreeIPA or Active Diretoy Domain
Is this correct? If I remember correctly we offer the Domain service as well (not just joining the server to a rsp. domain)
(3) Guest Agents Agents used when running under a hypervisor as (examples? Xen, VMware, .... Type 1 Hypervisors?
Add this option if you do not install on bare metal but in a virtual environment controlled by an ....
(4) Hardware Support for Server Systems This group is a limited collection ot tools for various uncommonhardware specific utilities
That's tautological. What there systems as servers are we offer here? We have to specify which tools are included and why you may need them.
(5) Headless Management Tools for managing the system without an attached graphical console
Tautological as well.
Some useful options are missing:
