If I'm ever going to contribute to a Linux distribution again, it will 
be a distribution I actually enjoy using. I haven't used Trustix since 
the early fall of 2005, and am really having trouble constructing a 
scenario where TSL would be a better choice than Ubuntu. Not because of 
politics, but because TSL does not offer anything I don't get from my 
distribution of choice. TSL is that much limited in flexibility and 
availability of software.

The are not bad guys. They are really nice guys that I've come to care 
about. They have, however, extremely limited man-power, and not that 
much experience. In the end they are trying to fix a product that will 
never be able to compete with larger commercially sponsored 
distributions, like Ubuntu, simply because of the massive lack in 
experienced developers and active user community. And let's face it... A 
user community of 50 active members really doesn't qualify. Sorry, I 
would love for TSL to be a really relevant distribution, but it's long 
since I understood that it never will be. :)

You are asking the wrong question.. The right question would be "Why do 
we need another Linux distribution?". If anyone care to answer that 
question in details, I would be very much enlightened. ;)
