Given that TSL has a relatively small userbase, and has been around for several years, it seems pretty sane to assume that most users have gotten all their issues cleared up by now.. > Now I think 1 is a bit unlikely, so I suspect the low traffic is a > result of a mix of points 2-4, and I'd like to think a bit of 5. > > Note that 3 and 4 may as well be a result of 2, if the linux admins are > no longer dazzled by the prospect of "Secure" in the distro name and the > ability to save maybe 100MB disk space (the two main features of TSL > compared to, say, Ubuntu server, and I'm not too sure about those > 100MB). I installed some version of Ubuntu on my desktop because I needed to get my Trustix back up after Windows XP nuked my /boot partition without asking..
