Folks:
I hate sound like a newbie but, after hearing about Elx linux in a couple
of posts to the list I cruzed over to their web site to look them over and
decided to give their latest beta release a spin and all I can say is WOW!
If this is a beta you can sure I'll be standing in

Well, my beloved gentoo distro has become somewhat unstable, so I've
switched back to elx at least temporarily.
A few notes:
1) I've stripped out some of the offending daemons, so startup/shutdown is
a little faster. Still looking at removing others, but going slow to
avoid breaking anything.
Just some observations:

Just wondering, has anyone sent an email to ELX on these couple of

supposed to be set up so any novice can immediately work in Linux
