Yea, you are not the first person to say this. Unfortunately we are spending literally every free moment we have on building the distro itself. There is some happenings on the mailing list, and most on IRC (we usually spend _every_ night doing tag teams on builds and brainstorming). I strongly recommend for you to join the list and IRC if you can if you are interested in current developments. I will spend some time in the next day or so to update the site. Sorry about that. On the other hand, if there is someone that is interested in doing HTML/PHP contributions, it would be greatly appreciated (and we need the assistance). > For the time being I'm spinning up my own RHEL-based distro optimized > for i686 (mainly because that's all we use at $WORK) and if it works > out I will ask if I may sanitize it of RH trademarks and release it to > the world.

The only thing that I ask is that you work with us (caos) where ever possible. It makes _much_ more sense to leverage off of each others work. Also we are developing a pretty nifty build system that also may facilitate what you are doing. Rocky is leading the rebuild efforts and we will be having a release in the near future. Please join the mailing list if you have interest. Greg -- Greg M.
