y'our welcome :-) i made them for my own distro a good idea should be to make 
a webring about slack7.1 based distro i knew some of them like BL, vector 
linux, drinou-linux, sonnyou, zipham, pigmy linux, looplinux (dead ?) but i 
think there is others and on all this distro have binary packages so it's 
interesting for those who doesn't want compil themself from sources.

a small note about vector-linux who was discuss here it's a very nice distro 
but the choice of tar.bz2 packages is not a good one for 1 reason it need 
much ram to install it's not possible to install vector-linux with 8mb ram it 
need at minimum 12mb but for tar.gz based distro with 6mb it's enought.

Just a point of clarification.  I've been with BL for a couple of years
now, and know it to be a distro developed pretty independently of any
other (except, of course, Slackware).  Since Steven has released the
latest update (to 2.0), someone who is developing another smallish distro,
and one that happens to be based on the same Slackware version (7.1) as
BL, has appeared - JP, who has made several posts to this list.  It seems
like these 2 distros, though almost entirely independently developed,
could be actually quite complementary.  It seems that binaries developed
for one may well work "out of the box" for the other.  But it is important
to note that, as of now, this is more or less coincidental.  Steven is
not, so far as I know, making concerted efforts to develop BL to be
complementary with JP's distro, nor is, likely, JP, tailoring his distro
and binaries to be compatible with BL.  I would think that, unless these 2
developers decide to merge their distros, the best thing each might do
along lines you've suggested, is to link to one anothers' sites, and to
mention that binaries or other components found on that other site might
well work with the distro promoted at the site linked from.

It should also be mentioned that the BL list was very quiet for some
weeks.  Only recently has a flurry of activity erupted.  I'm not sure you
should think of 40 emails per day as any kind of standard for this list.

That's going to be a pretty long list.  Most binaries will
work with glibc 2.1 and kernel 2.2.16.  It would be much
shorter to have a list of binaries that don't work.

A bigger issue is dependencies.  BasicLinux is very slim.
It does not provide a complete set of libraries, utilities,
etc.  Many pre-compiled binaries will need something not in
BasicLinux, so you will need to install additional packages
(or a different kernel) from Slackware to get them to work.
I realize that this can be frustrating at times, but that's
what happens when you start slim.

Keep in mind that BL2 is only ten weeks old.  As it matures,
I will be making some changes, which should ease some of the
frustration.  This list has already been very useful and I
appreciate the contribution that members are making.

Cheers,
Steven
