[joomla] Any movement to bring Joomla as an extra for Linux distributions?

I was talking to a friend of mine who is a Linux admin who I have  
introduced to Joomla. He had some suggestions, which may or may not  
be in the works, but I wanted to share them. If there is a more  
direct place to make such suggestions please kindly let me know. :-)

There should be a movement to include Joomla as an extra for the  
Fedora distributions (and other Linux such as CentOS). Installing it  
with an RPM and during system setup would bring over a lot of people.

For example, Fedora 7 installed the latest version of MediaWiki  
during his last installation. MW is probably more difficult to  
install than Joomla.

It would also be very helpful for it to install by default with the  
demo data for Joomla including handling the creation of the MySQL  
database.

While many of us consider an installation of Joomla to be a simple  
thing, if it were already there it is more likely that the users  
would try it out.
