This is very, very nice! Thanks Joseph!I second that motion. Mucho grassy ass.
I agree. I expounded these very thoughts and wishes myself some time ago. I think Caldera has a lot of work to do to clarify it's licensing and sales policies. I as one who has been looking forward to the release of the new desktop version am somewhat dismayed by the apparent changes in policy. I'm taking a wait and see attitude and giving the boyz from Orem a lot of rope. Hopefully we won't all hang.

I'm probably hallucinating from the coffee, but I can envision the
people on this list building a customized distribution that's quite
easily patched on a regular basis to keep current. Instead of a 16 month
period between releases, members get a CD of updates to the libraries,
kernel, XFree, KDE, etc. via snail mail or built into an .iso to
download and burn once every 60 days or so. Besides, a distro built by
the group would evidence our distancing from: 1. Caldera, 2. hostile
licensing methods, and 3. excessive pricing structures, (regardless of
who made the distro). It's a lot easier said than done of course.

Nonetheless, keep the info coming, you're work is appreciated many times
over.
But the idea of an easily updateable version of a secure, free linux geared toward the SOHO user is what I am searching for and perhaps LFS is the only way I'll be able to get what I want. So I'm very interested.
