Thanks for that though. Its good stuff eh....
I know what you mean about it being addictive. I've been using Linux for close to 8 years. I'm contantly amazed by stagering developments being made in the open source world. Linux has sure changed alot from 8 years ago.
Anyway, I figure its high time that I give something back to the community. It makes sence to put some of my programming skills to good use. :-)
Regards,
Brian

GO FOR IT!!!
You'll learn tonnes.
I recommend trying Linux From Scratch.
www.linuxfromscratch.org
It's the best thing, since sliced bread!
(some may dis-agree)
My Distro fetishes: Security Enhanced, Developer, Embeded.
Windows is like a brick, sure you can build things, in all sorts of ways.
Linux is like the sand of the brick itself, full control, design it to do what ever you want.
I've learned a wild mess of stuff in the last 6 months, not so much with the fetishes, heh.
I've learned more about Licensing, Distributions, How the OS works, what does what...
It's getting mad addictive.
p.s. KDE 3.1 RC5 looks nice!
