  I concur. When I run multiple UMLs, I often use rxvt's to display to
my desk, and our default vty support uses xterms..

  I would like to be able to recommend this distro for people who want
to work on Openswan with UMLs. 
  This also is a good base for people who want to work on UML code itself.

  I would recommend that some scripts/mirrors that can mirror
source/patches from sf.net, and yes, build root images.
  I also think debian is a good system to base things on, and it would
ideal if one could also install the "umlstuff" package to an existing
debian system.
