only reason to include Superx++ is not so much that we need another programming language (esp a potentially verbose one) as that someone leapt in and defined a language based on XML standards - also learned about 'Water' a parallel effort for a similar project (posts are in Programming Forum).
I also learned about Cygwin in past 48 hrs (gave up on Uwin years back - too heavy).
And Knoppix takes my award as 'enlightenment of the show'. CoolLinux comes in someplace behind that but Knoppix just shines.
