Well, I think that as much as the next distro. If I find a bug that
hasn't been solved on any other distro, I try to document it as much as
I can; the same with general interesting issues such as the 64 and 32
bit support for GCC (in the same way the guys from Debian have it right
know), the making of the Cd's using jigdo and the tftpimages. So this
way, when (and if) you guys encounter the same bug, Google will take you
guys to my solution and hopefully will fix the problem.

Also, Splack can be used as a developing platform so you can guys test
is something is going wrong on aurora and not on Splack and stuff like
that.

I haven't even touched aurora because I'm one of those foolish people
who are allergic to redhat, just because it's redhat (also, I don't have
any free time. Splack takes it all away); but feel free to cross post to
the Splack mailing list when you guys enter a beta testing/pre release
of the next version of aurora, or even to my personal address if I can
be of any assistance to the Aurora project.
