Collins has as many religions as there are days of the week or
partitions on the drive - currently Ubuntu Feisty and Gutsy, Fedora 7
(a POS, to put it mildly), Slackware 12.0,
 PClinuxOS, Debian testing, CentOS 4.

The best of the bunch are Gutsy and Slackware, but Debian and
PClinuxOS are quite acceptable. Feisty will be overwritten soonest,
since I haven't really used it for 6-8 months.

Slackware I need for a lightweight distro as a basis for a Linux
appliance I'm developing at work. It's amazingly up to date. They've
even discovered xorg and kernel 2.6! It's also amazing how
bullet-proof a 13-year old text mode installer can be.
