They're quite clearly defined. https://spins.fedoraproject.org/about https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix a 'spin' is a much stricter category than a remix: basically it gets to choose its package set *from within the official repositories* and do certain types of customization you can do via a kickstart file, and that's it. Spins are pretty tied in to Fedora releases, pretty 'official' things. a 'remix' is much looser: "a combination of Fedora software, with or without add-ons, that can be created by any community member at any time to produce interesting and compelling products." Anyone can build one, it doesn't have to be a kickstart-based live image, and it can include whatever third party software you like. The Remix page has a concise summary: "Are Remixes and Spins different? Yes. A Remix can be created by anyone with our tools, and labeled with the special "Fedora Remix" mark as set out in that logo's guidelines page. A Spin, on the other hand, contains only 100% Fedora software, not combined with any other third-party software, has been approved by the Fedora Spins_SIG, and granted the "Fedora" name by the Fedora Project Board. Spins are usually carried on our BitTorrent server and official mirrors." -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
