I think they cover different scopes: The LinVDR distro seems to be designed
for minimum size, so maybe it will make sense on a diskless machine that
boots from a flash disk or a USB stick. Very nice, but way too complicated
for the average Windows user who just wants to try VDR out.
ctvdr is excellent for those people. Heck, maybe it even gets some of them
started on Linux for good. I think it's a great idea that they made it small,
but allow the user to add everything that's missing easily.

I totally agree.
