Which ever one I could get help with.  I have immediate need for #5 the 
Thunderbird plugin and #6 the Kerberos KDC on bootable CD.  I've already 
submitted an application for an OID (on behalf of my employer) so that I 
can start on the postfix/LDAP/cyrus integration and management.  I would 
really like to do #4, the backup suite for Linux, but it is probably the 
most ambitious of them all.  I'll go into more detail about it in 
response to Nathan's email.

Beacuse I fell in love with gentoo.  It's flexible, powerful, and I 
don't have to do all the crap that is involved with rolling my own. 
Things are looking even more promissing with gentoo's catalyst[1] which 
creates bootable gentoo CDs.  Especially since they are adding unionfs 
support to them.  There is also GNAP[2] which is focused on network 
appliances and looks like a promissing base for some projects.
