Maybe YOU can't get ahold of the larger distros...

To say you can not get ahold of Pat at slackware means you never mailed the guy. Slackware is one of the only old timers that still has a personal touch, but unfortunately some library issues if you do a lot of compiling<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:)

Also, all these knoppix knock offs should contribute back to the project. Who wants to depend on someone who depends on someone else. That is what happens when you use a 3rd or 4th party linux distro. Caos (caos.caosity.org) shows most promise to me lately. I was a big gentoo fan, but they do wacked stuff like remove the hardened kernel one day, or change base layout all of a sudden. Caos is fast and cpmatible with that icky redhat world.

Just my 2 cents...
