Am I looking in wrong places or is there no documentation regarding available bundles of Alfresco.  Being an Enterprise customer I see options for download:

alfresco-blog-integration.amp
alfresco-bm-2.1.2.jar
AlfrescoDeployEnterprise-2.1.2-Linux-x86-Install
AlfrescoEnterprise-2.1.2-Linux-x86-Install
alfresco-enterprise-deployment-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-excel2003-addin-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-office2003-addins-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-powerpoint2003-addin-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-sample-extensions-2.1.2.tar.gz
alfresco-enterprise-sample-extensions-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-sdk-2.1.2.tar.gz
alfresco-enterprise-sdk-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-tomcat-2.1.2.tar.gz
alfresco-enterprise-tomcat-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-war-2.1.2.tar.gz
alfresco-enterprise-war-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-wcm-2.1.2.tar.gz
alfresco-enterprise-wcm-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-enterprise-word2003-addin-2.1.2.zip
alfresco-mmt-2.1.2.jar
alfresco-recordsmanagement.amp
AlfrescoWCMEnterprise-2.1.2-Linux-x86-Install
alfresco-web-service-client-2.1.2.tar.gz
alfresco-web-service-client-2.1.2.zip
phpIntegration.amp
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

however there is no clear documentation on what is what and where is it needed.

OK, I can see that .zip and .tar.gz are same things, but then other stuff kind of puzzles me as I'm trying to do minimal install but don't want to miss features available from bundled installer by default as users got used to the evaluation environment.

If you intend to use the WCM functionality as well, one of the WCM bundles (alfresco-enterprise-wcm-2.1.2.tar.gz, alfresco-enterprise-wcm-2.1.2.zip or AlfrescoWCMEnterprise-2.1.2-Linux-x86-Install) are also required.  Other than that, everything else is optional and their applicability depends on your requirements.

Please let me know if any of these descriptions are unclear or vague so that I can clean them up before submitting them to the download folder in the customer portal.

Cheers,
