All;

In general I think that RHEL would be more prevalent in NOCs and other 
professional settings than the flavors of Debian such as Ubuntu. 

I think we also need to be careful not to paint ourself into a 'this is 
the standard port' corner for this exact reason.  There is nothing 
stopping us from picking a single port and letting that persist between 
operating systems.  It may be historic that the webcache/webservice port 
has been 8080 (and tools like nmap know this) but it shouldn't matter to 
pS as a whole if we start to us something different (the LS allows us to 
know what other people are using).

my (devalued) $0.02.
