An interesting read. If I find time some day I'll try CollegeLinux. Making a Linux distribution for students makes much sense. Over here in the Netherlands the organization which supplies software for student only sells a modified Debian version/Mandrake CD set. It would be nice to see a really good student oriented disto deliverd through such channels. Making Gnome2 the default desktop doesn't make much sense to me, many students still have 64MB machines.
Basing a distro on Slackware makes very much sense, aside from its speed and leanless it is very easy to make customized versions of Slackware for specific situations. The installation is just a bunch of shell scripts which are using the dialog program. Adding packages is also very easy, just altering the maketag and tagfiles will do.
