You mean "not much here"?
And why not discuss those things here. I would have nothing to
contribute on rolling your own distro as I have no experience there, but
I and others would be happy to give you advice on programming on Linux.
I'm about to dive into the SCM tool "aegis", and I'd like to start a big
discussion on this list about that topic [in a week or two]. To me,
that's something both newbies and veterns could both contribute to and
learn from.

I work on a team which has created "Orac", a database independent
monitoring tool. It was even talked about in the Nov99 Linux Journal.
:-) We're about to release v1.2.0 in a week. Look at
