Ha! And where is it then? Even building a refactored liveCD is a major job in itself. Do you have any idea of how difficult and time-consuming it would be to maintain all the stuff you get in SUSE so that you get a similarly high-quality distro? (For example, the out-of-the-box test install of Mandriva 2007 I did a couple of weeks ago had an Audacity that crashed randomly, so their QC is obviously as good as ever - in all the seven years I've been using SUSE, I don't think that has happened once.) Ask Pascal Bleser how long it takes him to do all the cool rpms he does, and he doesn't have to build the base system (which one of the Andreases just suggested was being worked on round the clock by the SUSE guys right now). What you're saying is just an joke.
