David,

congratulations for Ark Linux, sounds eally interesting. Apart from
the different hardware target, the biggest difference between RULE and
Ark is maybe the fact that RULE is not a new distribution, "just" a
method to install and optimize the current Red Hat.

Even in this case, we could certainly help each other: probably the
most interesting area is in exchanging tips, tricks and requirement
about how much light KDE can be made: to us, for example, it would be
really interesting to discuss how the spec files of the Red Hat source
RPMs can be changed to have KDE/KOffice with maybe less
multimedia (visual and sound effects?) and *only* the basic applications
(say KMail, Konqueror, Knode, KOffice), to maintain the maximum actual
functionality minimizing disk and RAM requirements. What do you think?

It would be great if you and/or some other Ark developer could join
our list for a while to elaborate on this.

    Ciao, and thanks for your interest.
