[Klug-general] KLUG Project

[Andrew Miller (Spode)]

Well if it interests anyone, I'm currently working on "Toaster Linux" - 
toasterlinux.com

It's based on Slitaz (www.slitaz.org) which I've been helping out with, 
but with a package set and branding aimed a consumer. It's 22MB, with 
the idea being you can have your entire OS on a USB flash drive, with a 
feature set similar to an EeePC.
