[NTLUG:Discuss] new distro

[Mike Stute]

I don't want to discourage anyone from trying new things.

If this project is to learn about code and how to build distros, then great.

If this project is to attract users and a developer community, then it 
should be at least as good as Damn Small Linux (DSL) or Puppy Linux.

Those two projects are great looking, lightweight distros that support 
current hardware as well as slightly older machines.
