The Distributions-HOWTO is perfect for the more casual model. I mean,
there really isn't a lot of point in me asking for CVS access to it for
the sake of changing a couple of lines every few months. On the other
hand, I can quite easily make minor changes to the distributions I know
about (Debian, possibly Corel and Progeny) with a minimum of hassle. As
long as somebody's paying attention to make sure it isn't abused, it
should work well.
