It's based on Debian.  We do not have the time nor the resources to start 
from scratch, as some have suggested, for SEUL, nor can we for the Core.  
The plan is to be Debian based from the Core up, eventually to integrate 
with Debian as much as is possible given each distrib's goals.

Not necessarily.  George is waiting for the boot disks to be ready for a 
very good reason.  If he were to start from bo-stable, he'd have a nice, 
outdated, obsolete libc5 system.  He's starting with hamm, so he's getting 
a glibc2 system right away.  His initial goal is to get a complete custom 
system installed, which *requires* boot disks.  Therefore, he is waiting 
(not very long, I don't think) for the initial 2.0 boot disks to become 
available.
