[Devil-linux-develop] v1.0

[Heiko Z. <he...@zu...>]

Hey,

Topher, the guy who sells the CDs for us (or at least tries), made the 
suggestion that we should change the version number of DL to v1.0 
instead of 0.6.

I think he's right, that sounds much more confident for our users. On 
the other hand we're still far away from the point where we want to be, 
but will we ever be perfect ?

DL has it's second birthday coming up in a couple of month, wouldn't it 
earn a 1.0 release?

Comments welcome...

Why not. Redhat also jumped from 8.0 to 9.0 (I'd say to get above SuSE, at
least in the version number) so why not start a new numbering schema.

So 1.0 is a final, 1.1 the next beta release and so on. Till we jump
to 2.0 some time later :-)

I felt that 0.6 was definately a 1.0

It is almost impossible to improve on, just minor improvements.

The big change to DL is to build the web based ISO creator, and the diluted
versions with remote configuration.

I see it as a possible test base for techniques, like using stunnel for various
apps with strong documentation.  

I wish it were possible to force users to document everything they do.
