Everybody giving his opinion. Why not me :-) ?
Begin of commecials 1) I use TSL 2.2 on all my servers, and find both minimalistic (the less sw you have, the less has chance to get broken) and usable. 2) The BSD "nothing open on default install" is exactly what I want and need. 3) The traditional approach (e.g. config files in /etc, instead of LDAP, like SLES9 do) make it's deployment easy on small environments, and to people who doesn't need to scale to thousands of servers (see RH GFS claims). 4) Have still to find a distro which I can setup and running in less than an hour, and has everything I need, NOTHING LESS & NOTHING MORE, without getting mad at kickstart writing (but hey, this is an option, at least on 2.2 :P ). Somebody could argue that "what I need" is something personal, but as a not-skilled Linux System engineer I feel confortable w/ a very little set of configuration, and knowing I should not care of unwanted services running. 5) The package set is as minimal as I need, so I can setup a webserver or a mail server without downloading 5 CDs of stuff or downloading everything from the net. End of commercials Two last considerations: - I can't think of a little distribution which can live and being maintained w/o financial support. The big ones maybe could. Comodo not being clear is a big hit against community. - I "TRUST" trustix. Will still maintain my packages (and hope net-snmp included soon in 2.2 mainstream, so I can have php-snmp ) as long as I trustix lives or I find something which suits better the above commercials. I encourage everybody involved in trying to go on working.
