Take a look at GODI. It's not a big collection of libraries and apps like cpan, but includes the libraries you just mentioned you needed (postgres,sqlite,mysql and ldap).
Why is it that when people post to ask-slashdot, they get a bunch of answers that clearly don't answer their question. The poster asked a specific question about distributions, and he gets answers like 'Get another system' and 'Dual boot'. If the poster has gotten to the point where he's asking slashdot, he's probably already evaluated these options and decided that he didn't want to go that route. Imagine if someone walks up to you and asks directions to street X. Unless you assume that everyone is an idiot and doesn't know what they really want, you're going to tell them how to get to street X, not tell them they don't want to go to street X, because street Y has a nicer sidewalk. If they wanted to go to street Y, they would have asked, and if they wanted advice on whether street X was the best place to find item Z, they probably would have asked that.
Of course, I could be totally wrong, and the poster could actually be completely clueless, but I like to have a little faith in humanity when possible.
Our company relies on net access, so these flaky problems always really worry me, since I have a hard time figuring out what's going on, and I'm not sure how to get info on this sort of thing? Of course, the fragility of my company's system has a lot to do with things like previously relying on a firewall that rebooted when you bump into it. At least I knew what was wrong that time.
