The aim of this experimental Linux distribution is to provide to the student population at large an operating system that is easy to install and use and provides an alternative to the traditional commercial operating systems. CollegeLinux is a Slackware derived Linux (2.4.23) distribution on a single CD that weighs in at 600 MB.

I have installed and "played with" all three CL releases, over the past year or so... which I eagerly downloaded as soon as released. The latest one better than the last two.
Yes, CFdisk is slightly confusing, but not impossible to figure out.
It's true that most of the desktop choices are not there, but as mentioned above, easily added.
I didn't like that I couldn't choose on install either.. oh well, there's always the 'after install tweaking?'
to summarize:
for a volunteer, student based, minumum manpower workforce.. you made a decent stable, workable distro which means you've done well. A valiant effort which should be commended and applauded...
besides, is anything in this world perfect?
p.s.
my pastime is downloading and installing any version of linux I can get my hands on... just for fun.
so far I've loaded and tried at least 30 distros on my 'extra' computer.
