What is the big deal about your own distribution?? Redhat is a running a
commercial operation. I have tried all the main ones, starting with
Slackware, Redhat, debian, Suse, Mandrake. Also the BSD's FreeBSD,
OpenBSD etc. Also Solaris, they are all basically Unix. None of these
companies have actually written all this stuff, they have all borrowed
things from each other.

I have been using my own distribution built from source code for the
last year, before you ask, at least I know what software is installed.
The guys from the LTSP project have done an excellent job making setting
up diskless workstations easy. I have been running diskless workstations
as have many others for years using FreeBSD or other Unix's.

The reason that I chose Linux in the end is simple, OpenOffice. My setup
consists of OpenOffice for the office suite, Evolution for Email,
Mozilla for the Web Browser, Gnome for the desktop, the Gimp for
graphics, Gabber for IM, these applications cover everything that I use.
