Why is this *here*? I can think of several places that would have been better for this than blfs-support. /dev/null is among them.

I was going by the information given on the website and in your mail (hence the 'seemingly'). It has buzzwords, it has screenshots of apps, it has pretty pictures that seem to show dataflow at the user level, and it has nary a technical detail in sight. But my point was primarily meant to be "what does this have to do with LFS?" - the answer still seems to be "nothing", except perhaps that it utilises a package management system originally designed for LFS. Which is still, as far as I can tell, no reason to tell blfs-support about it. No I haven't used it, and I don't see any particular reason why I (or anyone else on this list) should use it, or even care about the fact that it exists. > Can the website be still under construction during a > holiday period? :) I would have thought it a good idea to finish something so obviously marketing-driven *before* going live. First impressions do count. It would be nice atleast for something posted to a tech-related list to have *some* technical information. > 1.

How is this relavant? *LFS is superior to other distros in how it caters for people wanting to learn about their system - but we know this (this is, after all, a primary design point for LFS). That isn't what I asked - I asked what claims Tomahawk makes about what benifit this distro has. > 2. How to you appreciate the Package User system > (package-user hint) compared to RPM, deb and others? Why aren't the benifits of this system mentioned anywhere in your buzzwords? You say on the website that 'there is no database to corrupt'. Ok, sure - same can be said for ROX appdirs, install-log, paco, DESTDIR + symlinks, the almost-appdir system GoboLinux uses, and for having no package management system at all. > 3. Which distro guarantee it is resistant for > Pharming? *goes to look up 'pharming'*. Ok, sure, I don't know of any others that are guaranteed to be resistant to this. Equally, I don't see what basis you have for claiming that this one is. Or even any explanation anywhere of why this is benificial to the user. Or anything other than just another marketing point - "we do unexplained-buzzword! we resist another-unexplained-buzzword!". Give us *facts*, not hype. And atleast *try* to send it to the right place. Slashdot, for example, tends to publish marketing hype at every opportunity. -- Lennon Victor Cook -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
