Tommy Moore who is subscribed to this list has asked me to inform the group that he is compiling non-distribution-dependent systems with better security and smaller size. The advantages are: Security holes are plugged up Only the applications the user needs are placed on the system. Less space on hard drives of laptops. Tommy is looking for systems with bandwidth. If you have a system on a cable modem, or DSL, and you have lots of drive space with extra partitions available, Contact him at: stp at odyseus.yi.org.
