How to tell that someone is doing something stupid? From the software's
point of view, a class combination of "WEBSERVER DBSERVER DHCPSERVER" is
as valid as "DEBIAN UBUNTU X86_32 X86_64".

Is it useful to have some kind of list(s), where one could specify classes
that do not play well together? "pick on of these"

Operating system: Debian vs. Ubuntu vs. SuSE
Architecture: 32 vs. 64 bit
Bootloader: lilo vs. grub vs. grub2
