i know of Acqui. Dries got $9million to found it :)<br><br>Acquia can have their own distro and hawk it all they want. Drupal needs to find a way to weed and maintain the good contributed modules from the chaff. <br><br>There's still space for Acquia to make money out of their distro and services while Drupal has a good out of the box distro. <br>
<br>And am still going to press the point of WordPress.com.<br><br>I want a Drupal with multimedia out of the box. Anybody care to help put together a campaign :D<br><br>/liza<br><br> <br clear="all">Liza Sabater<br><a href="http://culturekitchen.com">http://culturekitchen.com</a><br>

we need baseline distros for a Drupal product or products to be thoroughly tested and perfected. because, you know what? the Drupal platform is never going to be done. ever.<br>

hey liza -- agreed. in many OS communities this is left to 3rd parties, which is perhaps how it should be, since if a baseline distro is put together and hawked as something that is tested, tried and true (for ease of use and dependability), then someone ought to stand behind it with a committment to support the installation as a _product_ (not just "might" be there out of spirit of community service)<br>
