Hi
I don't get it. How else can you evaluate a distribution
other than comparing it to existing alternatives?
Might happen on individual project needs and contributions. If its a
commercial product it can be based on revenue and customer demands. It
can also be done by establishing new markets through research and so on.
Yes, but the only way I can make a point is to mention the
obvious counterexample, like the k12ltsp distribution being
able to do a respin when needed - even though it is one guy
and not his real job.
I requested a facilitation since you cite this so often. Would you do that?
It's the process that matters, not any specific thing. When
something is broken, don't make users wait for the next release
for the fix, only to find that a different set of things
are broken at that point. The current process lets that
happen. The problem is not any specific thing being broken,
it is the difficulty of obtaining the fix as shown by the
gig or more of updates you currently would have to download
after an FC4 install - assuming your hardware works with
the FC4 installer.
We are already started to work with the people who did the respins. So
if you have anything specific to add on that, mail me off list.
The issues have already been covered. Respin the isos after any
installer issue is fixed and whenever some reasonable threshold
of updates have accumulated - like 500M.
Anybody could do that. The project would do whatever it can to enable
this to happen.
Make a test drive
version, whether live CD
Live CD effort is in progress
or vmware
VMware will not be supported or used in Fedora.
When rolling support to legacy, update the yum config so
security updates continue for administrators who are not
tracking the change.
Effort in progress again.
The common thread here: make it easier
and more attractive for new people to participate.
We need specific responses to the development list instead of random
user discussions if you want to help make an impact. Thanks
