Yeah, sorry, the time machine is in the shop or I'd have posted that earlier... :-)
(I probably should have put IMHO, but I'm sure people could assume that and I'm confident it's a good opinion for 99.9% of people...)

BTW my version was derived from Crux (which got a bit better known later on when Arch did the same, I started on version 0.9-something), but my one never made it into circulation as the product it was for died a death due to Sigma's linux drivers being too poor for production use (long, sad story)...

What do you use for your desktop and have you re-installed a few new versions over the years or changed to a rolling dist? I went (IIRC) SLS->Slackware->Caldera->Suse->(Misc) with some uClinux on the side (for Blackfin mostly). Caldera was perhaps a high spot.

(One side effect - I've just had my mind jogged about the elf vs. a.out wars, boy that seems a long time ago... I'd forgotten all that until the nudge.)
