install parties?

[Nathan England]

Maybe create a FAQ and allow the people who use the different distros to
write in and say what they feel are the pros and the cons of each distro
they use, then others can view that and possibly agree with what someone
says and think, yeah that's the one for me...

That would be a great addition.  I get friends asking me all the time, and
naturally I'm biased towards slackware...  But that isn't the best answer
for everyone.

Other ideas?
