I believe Xandros (The folks who bought up the Corel distro after Microsoft "saved" Corel) is STILL Canadian. Stampede Linux was Candaian as well (though I don't think they're maintained any longer). Then there's QNX, ....but that's a whole different ball game i.e. not Linux (Posix, fun, AND Candadian).

Has anyone every looked into how much Canadian content is in some of the Linux distributions?
hrm.. that's a tough one.. i know there are a lot of Free Software hackers in Canada, however, that contribute to a wide array of projects.. i've seen reports (such as last year's EU sponsered FLOSS report) that show that ~2% of Free Software developers are from Canada.. the numbers may be larger or smaller than that, though, due to the distribution of respondents to that study (which they also acknowledge), but i think that number is more correct than wrong...
What distributions are made in Canada?
i know of a couple of distros that are no longer around that were made in Canada (Corel Linux, MaxOS).. the only one i'm aware of that is still going is Libranet...
there's also OpenBSD, of course, though that isn't Linux it is Free Software.
