I used to follow Beatrix, that was a fine, although very limited, distro. Definitely the fastest full featured desktop I've ever tried.
However, don't hold your breath waiting for it to resurface, too much happened in the meantime to make that a likely event.
The simple fact that Mark compares Beatrix to Kanotix is revealing however, there is no comparison, they are two totally different distros, with different target audiences.
I like both, in fact, it's only recently I sadly gave up on Beatrix, but I never made the mistake of confusing what Beatrix does with what Kanotix does.
In my opinion, this author seriously undermines his credibility by trying to compare two unrelated products in this way. Beatrix was truly fully aimed at newbies, and was quite successful in its goals until its unfortunate problems.
Kanotix is likewise quite successful in its goals.
