Elive is a nice-looking distro. It's based on Debian- which makes it
cooler. Wow, look at all of that eye-candy goodness!

Linus is right. There are so many different needs. One distro simply

newbies enjoy using. I think having a wide variety of distros is great,
and people will be able to find the one that fits them just right. :)
