If someone approaches me with a finished solution and some rationale for
what to do, I will know if that person put in the time to figure out the
issues and decide for a good long term strategy when I see it.

Well, yeah.  Do you know if any of the distributions you listed are

reasons (we might still link to them in the links section).
