Jurix, by the way, was the *BEST LINUX DISTRIBUTION EVER*. Well, OK, so it eventually got stale and out of date because Florian moved on to other things. But when it was actively maintained, it was my platform of choice for building servers. It shipped in a much more secure state than the available distros at the time, it didn't contain a lot of useless fluff, and it was extremely well thought-out. I shut down my last Jurix system only about a year ago--it had been running for a very long time, serving me well and faithfully. Finally aging cheap PC hardware forced me to retire it. I miss it.
