I work doing IT at the Tijuana River Estuary (on the border of mexico and the U.S.) and routinely need to wade through untreated sewage to service equipment.

I have crunchee on my 1000ha and like it alot. Most things worked out of the box with only a bit of fiddling (wireless). It is a really light weight distro but is not for everyone as it uses openbox window manager so it really shines on netbooks with limited resources.

I was just at a conference and the people seated around me saw the crunchee install and it generated alot of oohs and aahs.
