At this moment there appear to be 4 ideas put forward, and 2 of them are mine.
I'm interested. To read this item, though, the wording is such that it sounds like he's producing 31 distros each day for the month of August -- 900-something distros? -- for which there's only one word: Dang!

But I'd bet that Todd's only doing one a day for August. And good luck with that.

As an aside, we just had a pretty good discussion in the CrunchBang forums about what makes a distro a distro here:

Good luck with this, Todd -- sounds like an interesting endeavor.

Yeah,... the headline made it sound like 961 distros were going to be produced... Which would be utterly staggering... But 31 is still impressive...
31 is good. In fact, I'm going to follow this on the Larry the Free Software Guy blog.
