I have a "drop in and go" type php phorum designed by phpBB..  Absolutely
awesome..
I am currently using it for my own website that I just set up for friends
and family.. But if you're interested in the source check out my site...
http://the-arcanum.ath.cx/forums and let me know if you like it, I'd be more
than happy to upload all the source for it..
*only about 500k I think*

And it's very fast..  Runs off a MySQL db..  All on a pentium 75 as well!
Despite only being up a short while my site gets surprisingly a LOT of
traffic, so it might be a little slow.  But test it out.  It would be
awesome to setup a category for each distro, then let all of us rant and
rave on the topics!

Cheers!
