Well, I'm not sure how to tell people the differences. Ideally we
could figure out a way, since that would be much more portable than a
show-n-tell, which would require at least one of each OS to be
running. I don't know... maybe there's a very good reason why the kind
of material I want doesn't already exist.

LOL. Well, there are certainly those options. But I think we want to
limit a newbie-oriented panel to officially-supported derivatives,
much as I prefer Fluxbox to Xfce myself...
