It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

I would like to hear how knoppix works out, of the Debians I prefer to use knoppix as a debian installer (there are instructions somewhere, boot to terminal and run hd-install or something).
But why limit yourself to debian, what about Slackware+DroplineGnome? red fedora, etc. I tried the ftpable suse that was announced on distrowatch the other day, didnt work...
I too have waited impatiently refreshing distrowatch.com waiting for new distros to try and tried many of them. Always fell back to slackware and was able to go 95% windows free once I found out about Dropline gnome. It is worth a review. elx linux and ark linux and particularly lycoris might be good candidates for this series of reviews.
I find the scoring system amusing, +1 for the number of times I grinned while reading the article. But I hope you dont actually compare the scores from one distro to another, what counts is this one found my winmodem and this one didnt, thats the kind of stuff that we as readers would accept as a good measure. If nobody can work the usb webcam then so be it, it is a tie.
Oh yeah, how in the world can you test linux distros without broadband! You are a true linux guru my friend, fully into self abuse.
