By reading this new I arrive to a Tille article about Custom Debian Distributions. I like very much Debian, but I’ve work with Red Hat for years, even more, I’m still working with Red Hat and at my laptop I run Fedora, a project, not a product -very important difference- sponsored by Red Hat.
But this last year I’ve start to use Debian at home for my personal server, and well, what can I say? It’s a great distribution, for my server, not for my laptop. Debian is stable, sure, very well supported by developers, … I think that debian developers, debian people in general are in right way with this Custom Debian Distributions. That may leave Debian as is, ’cause it doesn’t try to be a fork but it tries to fill up necessities not cover by Debian. I think that Tille -document author- explain it better:
Custom Debian Distributions (formerly known as Debian Internal Projects) provides support for special user interests. Special users might be children, lawyers, medical stuff, visually impaired people etc. Of late several Custom Debian Distributions evolved. The common goal of those is to make installation and administration of computers for these target users as easy as possible and to fit our role as missing link between software developers and users well.
I’m going to follow this very accurately. And if may go to http://iparty.aditel.org may be Amaya talk about it…
