Yeah, and unfortunately some people just like to use Linux and learn
more about it -- and have no bitterness against people who don't. Or,
maybe some people just want to be able to do what they want at their own
time and not have to prove anything to anybody.
i don't see why you think i'm bitter about this whole thing. i don't
see why you see it as flamebait.
Dude! Hindi sa pinagtutulungan ka or something like that. I think it's
time for you to look at the mirror. ;)
on the other hand, i've (tried) making a smoothwall-like distribution,
and failed miserably. it's easy to get the darn thing working, but to
have a nice GUI, to support it, to build-in automatic updating...
as i said before, duct-taping a linux-based solution is easy. getting
it to work is easy. everything else is not. your duct-tape solution
won't get past the front door of very many IT shops simply because
they're scared of it. they can't administer it. they don't know how to
support it. and when it can't boot, they have to call you, the local
linux geek.
Not true at all, even the worse solution without a duct-tape can pass
thru many IT shops, you'll be surprised they're global.
so UNLESS the IT shop is already strong in UNIX to start with, they're
probably not going to buy into your solution.
Probably.
and that's what i meant by my original post --- build something that
the point-and-drool crowd will WANT to use, and THAT would be an
achievement.
Hmmm, it's just a success taken for granted on a daily basis man,
nothing of a feat really.
