Nothing Debian/Ubuntu based.
Nothing RPM based.
Nothing Slackware ...

Suggest me a distro!
I feel like trying a new distro, but I'm not sure what. So I'm after suggestions.
But first let me define 'new':
Nothing Debian/Ubuntu based.
Nothing RPM based.
Nothing Slackware based.
Nothing Gentoo Based.
Nothing LiveCD (as in intended to be used primarily as a live CD) Based.
Not Arch.
Not Crux.
Not LFS (or derivatives such as core).
Yes I'm fussy.
Anyone?

I'll just ignore MikeTbob like any sensible person.
Thanks ozar, hadn't thought of *BSD, might have a play.

That wasn't very nice.....I guess you've lost your sense of humor.

Suse? Or is that RPM based?
Oh, GoboLinux. Read a rant on TechieMoe's site that got me curious about it.

Welcome to Linux From Scratch!
Aside from FreeBSD, that's all I can come up with.
@arinlares: Yes, SuSE is an RPM managed distro originally forked from Slackware.
