http://www.debian.org/misc/children-distros
One thing that probably should be considered is the fate of the Adamantix
distribution. The above URL seems to be the only current information
available on the web about it. It seems that the only current positive
result from that project is the paxtest package which is in Debian (which
incidentally is i386 specific). I expect that the same amount of effort
could have yielded better results if applied within the scope of Debian.
