One problem that I see is that Debian usually lags behind the other distributions in getting the latest and greatest into a release. Debian was the second to get a glibc2 out (only beaten by RedHat) and will probably be the last to release a distro with a 2.2 kernel as default (the alpha slink release was the first with glibc2.1, but the i386 version will lag behind the others). While it is good that Debian takes its time to 'get it right' having a commerical product based on Debian could put some pressure on the distro for 'more timely releases' or worse, a commerical release of an 'unstable' branch might occurr to 'keep up with the Jones'. === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
