http://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros One thing that probably should be considered is the fate of the Adamantix distribution. The above URL seems to be the only current information available on the web about it. It seems that the only current positive result from that project is the paxtest package which is in Debian (which incidentally is i386 specific). I expect that the same amount of effort could have yielded better results if applied within the scope of Debian. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Main Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
