[NTLUG:Discuss] new distro

[Spicerun]

Looks like an interesting project.  All I'd ask is please don't 'paint 
it into a corner', and keep it flexible for those who like to compile 
and/or install binaries.  It would be nice.

I am surprised though that sourceforge.net would let you host an entire 
linux distribution on there, as I've seen many people try to register 
distributions on there before, and have seen it rejected.  I think I've 
seen the most common reason sourceforge.net rejects hosting the distros 
is simply because of the sheer volume of traffic and support that they 
don't think they can handle without impacting the other projects.

About the other comments I've seen in this thread, I'll refrain from 
adding my comments here....they really do belong in another thread.  The 
only thing I have to say here is that the "Not Invented Here" syndrome 
is a major problem with a lot of the binary distro crowd (especially 
Ubuntu users), and a major problem with NTLUG.  I'd suggest further 
feedback on my comment becomes another thread btw (not that anybody 
actually pays attention to my suggestions).  Why, yes, Mr. 
Browning....this is a hit & run comment.
