Cellier, I would like to know from the commercial perspective how can you endorse a product which is been developed, maintain and gone through a Q&A process which you're not sure or does not comply with your own standards. It's impossible to have what you say, but it is definitely possible to have an open, very well integrated, not so clumpy linux distribution that can be integrated and expanded fairly easy. I guess it will depend on the goals of the project and the organization.

I strongly agree with this. This is very annoying to see manufacturers shipping their own wobbly linux distro, while there is the "universal OS project" (aka. Debian) that has everything one need and is very well tested and supported. Adding your own stuff on top of a mere Debian (or alike) seams so much simplier than packaging your own stuff from scratch that I can't come with no reason to do so, technically speaking. For instance I bough an asus aspire one recently : a very good piece of hardware bundled with a very poor version of Linux. _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users ===========End of original message text=========== Urivan A.
