Hi Uwe,
I mentioned this because I would like to see NS get ahead as fast as possible.
I don't think it is appropriate to discuss another distribution on these forums. If you want more info, message me privately or have a look at the project page.
My goal will be to get more functionality in NS. Ultimately projects benefit from eachother and use eachothers strong points. As I said: why invent the whel over again.
