The only one I can think of right now that uses XFree86 is debian, knoppix is based on debian. Why on earth does debian 3.1 still use the 2.4 kernel? And here is something I'd never thought I'd say, I installed SuSE Pro 9.3 on my notebook (Omnibook 6000). I was so impressed with it that removed the FreeBSD slice, well that and the fact that grub doesn't do ufs2 and BSD doesn't do Riser, one had to go. FreeBSD is still number 1 in my book, just not on notebooks. anyways....
