The ISO is ready to go, but I think I'll have to set up bittorrent on the
server to distribute it. I don't have an overly large pipe. I did finally
get the rsync server going to make it easier to keep up with updates, though,
and the CVS tree is missing some documentation.

That said, I really wouldn't encourage anyone to use this distro. This isn't
meant to be my feeble attempt to get into the distro business, I just wanted
a distro that's done <queue music> My Way. ;-) There's no support, the only
configuration tool is vi, and the developer's a jackass. And just to compound
the injury, I've replaced the things you're most accustomed to with personal
hacks (BSD-init? SysV-init? Hah! I give you the Awkward Init, so named
because it's written entirely in (g)awk).

In short, <channeling Ben Kenobi> "This isn't the distribution that you're
looking for..."
