Oh yeah, I have experimented with Vector, Damn Small, Corel Linux, Blue 
Linux,
and Lycoris,too, but my use of any of them was rather brief.
Vector and DSL I loaded onto machines I built from spare, donated parts 
and gave to
students/schools.  When possible, though, even those I loaded with RH 
based K12Linux.
I dug RH/Fedora, but I dig Kubuntu more.
