I see. Doesn't appear to be going anywhere.

I respectfully disagree. The sources for IPCop can be built on nearly 
every other linux variant. Does the fact that some sources are built on 
Knoppix (for example) make the resulting binaries Knoppix as well? I 
don't think so.

Right. And IPCop version 2 (in moderately active development) will use 
the 2.6 kernel.

Anywise, you've answered my question. Thanks.
