When I mentioned "smaller" distros, I meant the *small* ones, that are
maintained by half-a-dozen people, or so - who reveal very little about
themselves.
And, what I meant, overall, was that:
- I don't trust such "small" distributions.
- And, concerning the "big" ones, I don't trust the ones that have
corporations behind them.
Leaving only the "big" ones that are made/maintained by well-known non-profit
(serious) organizations the ones that I'm willing to try.
(Trisquel, with its large number of volunteers, involved in it, is "big"
enough, to fit my description.)
