I would highly avoid "selling" a non-release version. If you want to sell a version more current then woody now, I would look to Ubuntu or other similar Debian based distro. Selling a customer a non-release verion with no security support is not in either your or the customer's best interest. -- Jamin W. Collins Remember, root always has a loaded gun.
