About the Ultima Linux's history.

The idea of creating another Linux distribution was not new to Ultima, but the process was, and for the very first version, 0.1, it showed. The installation was a mess, and there was no easy way to custom install the system. For the whole time it existed only around three installations were ever done, and all were on his own machines; he had tried and tried, but couldn't find a way of distributing it to the masses.

A few months later, he decided to try hacking the system again. This time he managed to tweak Slackware's installation program to fit his needs, and made things considerably easier to set up. He also discovered mininova while searching for a BitTorrent tracker he could host it on (since he figured it would be the fastest and easiest way to distribute a large ISO image) and with it an easy way to promote his work. Ultima Linux as we know it had been born.
