All this argument is beside the point. All you people wanting your own distro are naive. If you're so fired-up for something 'original' -- then write your own OS by all means! Making your own distro is pointless (if you're after 'originality') -- you're just compiling stuff that's already there! hardly original. Let's see you reimplement the GNU toolchain, the userland, the kernel, X.. By making your own distro, instead of deriving from say RedHat, you add very little value. Anybody can type ./configure make make install So since you're gonna derive from someone else's work, then go the whole mile and maximize the derivation you can get away with. That's why it's called open-source. --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
