I am aware of MarTUX and SchilliX. In fact, I've mentioned them throughout this thread. You can even ask Joerg; I was one of the first people to download and email him comments on SchilliX when it was first released. You'll also note that I included Joerg in the proposed core contributors list. I'm also aware of IPS and the Distribution Constructor; but neither of those are "Indiana specific." If you look at the mailing lists of both, you will see I have posted and participate in such discussions. > This is kind of an absurd proposal, at least until someone with a bit more > of the "whole picture" in mind adopts and substantially clarifies it. I would respectfully ask that you reconsider words such as these.
