I had more of http://www.onerussian.com/tmp/distro-ecosystem-new2012.svg in mind ;) Having hundreds of nice derivatives with a well setup workflow Zack illustrated is nice, BUT it is inferior imho to simply having those efforts within Debian proper in various regards. Yes -- we could offer more for such customized solutions which require a derivative now, e.g. extended flavors exposed within official debian installer, but we also have already working solutions (e.g. blends) for a field-specific representation of Debian. -- =------------------------------------------------------------------= Keep in touch www.onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko www.ohloh.net/accounts/yarikoptic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
