That FTP is LOADED with distro's
Wandered around and stumbled on "Frugalware" - found it on distrowatch, and it's a mildly tweaked Slackware with a package manager adapted from Arch.

Not sure, but it seems that Redhat and derivatives, like Mandrake (now Mandriva) seem to be losing ground to Debian and Slackware based distro's - the most important variation between camps, is the style of package manager, the "out of the box" CPU compile - and while you could recomplie up, you can't run a "Pentium or better" compiled version on a 486, and the choice of frontend.

Can any distro be considered "definitive"?
