I went for arch mainly because of the ease of creating build scripts to download and install packages - which is what soa-aur is. Its also a small lean and mean base install with the ability to install more as you want (there's no users other than root in the base file system for instance) - this makes it good for using as a base os for this activity. It also support armv6 so may work on a Pi... We can evolve to binary repos and more automated installation, but at present my target is to get back to most features of a CSOS without needing to host any binaries and hence not have any short term issues on the legal side... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
