Bob,
when I said Distro, What I was really thinking was a DSL install setup
which has some customer graphice to put CRRC logos in and has some extra
packages preinstalled. The whole thing would be set up to be a
nobrainer to install. Not really a new distro. I guess I meant sort of
DSL+custom logo+some other extra stuff.
