Beehive Linux
Our goal in creating Beehive Linux was to provide a fast, simple, secure i686 optimized Linux distribution without all the cruft and clutter. What we wanted was something that was fast to install and setup, something that didn't by default include 500 megs of stuff we didn't want or need. And something that had native ReiserFS support built in. We just wanted something better. Something tighter. Something cleaner. Beehive Linux was a distribution made by system administrators, for system administrors. It's intent was to provide fast and clean setup of workhorse servers and workstations. If you're looking for wizards and whizbang gizmos, you are in the wrong place. If you want to setup servers with the services you and/or your users need, you are in the right place. Beehive also works well as a workstation and X, E, BlackBox and KDE are included - this was not the primary focus of Beehive but hey, every admin needs a workstation as well right? Beehive Linux was not for the inexperienced, or those new to linux/*nix. Beehive Linux was for people that know what they're doing and want to get the job done as well as possible in the least amount of time.
