Thank you for mentioning this, I was simply not going to respond to Mr. Poplawski. Maybe I was too long winded, or failed to communicate my point: a stable (bug fix only updates, slow feature release), strongly FOSS, strongly upstream seems to be what some (I am not going to make assumptions about numbers) want. I see two problems with this: 1) the nature of such a distro would make it attractive to a smaller percentage of the Linux community 2) the only aspect of that that would be unique is the commitment to upstream -- something which will be appreciated by few I'm not saying that any aspect of such a mission would be bad, just that it would be very niche. -- Fedora 13 (www.pembo13.com) -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
