Oh, right. We were not discussing the WP project, except tangentially. What he and I were talking about, in fairly compressed shorthand, was the feasibility of building a decent embedded distribution without relying on specialized, commercial embedded Linux packages from (for example) Red Hat, Lineo, Monta Vista, and LynuxWorks. Not surprisingly, we shared the view that doing this was quite straightforward, for reasons the more active developers here already understand ... plus the advantage that tying yourself to a well-maintained standard distro (like Debian, though the other biggies are probably almost as good) simplifies keeping up to date with security patches, because it is easy to piggyback on their updates. This is how he does his own embedded distro (I think he said he builds off Red Hat, but that's just a detail). -- ------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"--- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
