Does it matter? One of the great features of open source is being able
to save time and derive from other people's work, whether it be
implicitly or explicitly.
Our nascent community should be helping and supporting each other - not
arguing silly debates.

Let us face reality...
Belenix has been developped by starting with SchilliX

Um ... I'd strongly object to this statement! It is correct
that 2 ideas were taken from the earlier discussions on this
list:
* Using the math library from FreeBSD
* Using the aperture driver as a replacement for xsvc
Well, Belenix has just too much in common with SchilliX that is completely
different to what Sun does on Sun Solaris to believe you.....
- The way to do the overall split of / and /usr
- The fact that the CD-ROM is mounted on /.cdrom
- The fact that subdirectories from /.cdrom are mounted to e.g. /usr
via lofs.
and some other minor stuff. It is most unlikely that you did never have
a look at SchilliX and we all know, that knowing that/how something works
makes things a lot easier for people who do it the second time and are
not forced to develop everything from scratch as I did.
