I think creating a stable Linux workstation with a set of predefined applications that play well together falls under the realm of a sub-distro. I guess I'm with the 5% of users that is already happy with Gentoo. I've been using Gentoo Linux on production servers since RC6 and I've never had any problems with 'stability'. Gentoo doesn't force you to install anything, and emerge --pretend works great. Sherman Boyd Gentoo Doc Czar meekrob_AT_gentoo.org
