Payson Linux?

I attempted to start a linux user group here and initially named it Payson 
Linux User Group. A couple of us decided to create our own linux distro. Now 
I am the only one still involved as the others have moved away and don't do 
much anymore. 

Now I am working on a version that only works with LDAP so I can use it at 
work. Several others have shown interest in using linux, and I would like to 
pursue more with my distro.

I also consult beside my normal job, which my business is called Payson 
Computer Services, and paysonlinux goes hand in hand with it.
