I've updated the site to point to Knoppix, it's the least we can do.
We'll leave the Ubuntu-flaming for #morphix :)

Great, as long as there is interest (and you don't mind) Zathras can
continue to provide builds.

Agreed, and I don't mind fixing the occasional bug in the morphix tools
as I still do a build every now and then myself. Nothing has changed in
that regard compared to the previous years.

It's just that I don't have the time (and haven't for a while) to
provide a regular polished distro for end-users and the old website
wasn't clear on that (besides the iso's from '06/'07).

Thanks,

Alex
