Just browsing Wikipedia to give some ideas about
all Red Hat Enterprise Linux Clones (to put ourselves
in a context..)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RedHat_Enterprise_Linux_clones

lists the following, comments in [] are mine:

    * CentOS
    * Scientific Linux
    * StartCom Linux [ looks a specialized multimedia
       distro to me ]
    * White Box Enterprise Linux [ looks dead,
       the single developer joined CentOS it seems ]
    * XOS [ ?? ]
    * GENtOS [ first time I see this one .. strict RH
       compatibility does not seem to be a main goal  ]
    * YOUrOS [first time I see this one too, same comment
       as above ]
    * GnYOUlinux [ does this really exist ? web site really
       a copy-cat of above ]
    * Oracle Unbreakable Linux [ no comments, lame Oracle
       attempt at Red Hat buy-out or sthg .. ]

The following clones have ceased production:

    * TaoLinux [ effectively merged into CentOS ]

... so if we would join efforts with CentOS .. it could
be really profitable to the whole community .. I believe ...
