AW: [Devil-linux-develop] statistics, competitors

[Gunther S. <Gu...@St...>]

Hello Friedrich,

I completely agree. We're not there where we want to be.
But WHAT is it we want ?????

--> We should create a roadmap or something that drives us to a stage where
we can say okay: now the point has come to write to ct,ix and other
magazines.


In my eyes devil-linux is "just a distribution", but a special one ;-)

in other words: it is the basis for a lot of other tools !
You can run a bgp-router with zebra or a nameserver with named and so on.
As one can see there are various possible applications.

We have to add a lot of packages (is smoothwall a package ??? *smile) in
order to allow a whole bunch of applications.
For example a set-permissions-script as we know it from suse would be great.

to be continued....

Have a nice sunday and bye.

Hmmm, I don't think so. Take a look at
 http://lwn.net/Distributions/
There must be some equivalent distribution around.

It's the last none beta.

IMHO we are not quite there were we want to be, that's why we only
have betas right now. I would wait with writing articles for magezines
till we have a really stable and secure base. With secure I mean,
verified by 1000 eyes. With stable I mean that we are just updating
the sources of the tools to the new version which fix security
problems and not system relevant stuff like SysV init, ....
