I've not used it before, but I've heard many good reports about these
u-distros, such as router project, etc. I believe Linux Weekly News
maintains a good list to either i) loads of distros and u-distros, and/or
ii) links to other long lists of distros. I'd be interested to hear how
you get on if you do decide to try it out. . .

On another note, the list seems to be back up to speed ;) Or at least,
appeared to be a while ago...

Cheers,

Alex.
