I thought this one was a joke at first: http://www.redmondlinux.org of course the guy who's doing it worked at McSoft for years, my suspicion is that his business plan is one known to work, which is to say, generate a lot of press and get aquired by bill & co. http://progeny.com this one looks like a winner if you have a fast cpu anybody want to try it at this weeks clinic? and finally: http://alfs.linuxfromscratch.org/intro which uses XML files to hold a system profile showing what goes where as it automatically installs a preconfigured build-from-source linux system, this looks like it would be a very handy tool if you were dealing with a large number of systems with similar but nt identical needs. Or if you were running an entreprise wide configuration database, i could even see it being used for one of those blue-sky your-config-follows you around taking over the computers near you sort of scenario. It allows you to tweak all sorts of things, including where and how each program is installed. something to chew on. Larry Price | "We have seen the truth.
