Opposite of debian.

Was having a conversation at work about Linux, and a someone suggested a good idea for a distro would be one where everything is done the simplest and most hokey way.

ie:
-All startup stuff is in /etc/rc.local (so there's 2 runlevels, 0 and 1).
-There's no crontab program, you just go and edit the file.
-There's no sudo, you just log in as root.
-There's a lot of nonfree packages.
-etc...

Was a joke at the time, but it would be more funny if such a thing exists. Anyone know of such a distro?

Can anyone else think of some very bad practices?

Depends on how clued up/retarded you are... but LFS could* be like that

* Could also be the most spectacular OS you've ever run as well!

Linspire was a bit like that.

Log in as root, non-free stuff and all GUI.

Its now been taken over by Xandros and last time I looked the free(as in beer) version Freespire was still around, I have never used it though.
