debian ... Business
Today I read on Slashdot this article, and therefore the root of it and I have nothing more to say again that it is complete rubbish, I do not usually do this kind of comments, but truth is I got bored reading that this debian, debian
that ... For those who have not yet understood, debian is not a common software distribution, multi-distribution is huge, if true, there are some tasks (tasks of installation) defined that you install some packages but do not have it stick to them, you can make simple changes to package selection and good, you can see the case of ubuntu, many argue ubuntu, debian does it say easy, but tell me which package in ubuntu not present in debian, so yes, there are numerous packages in debian and ubuntu hint (although I am user of ubuntu) the issue is making, is a question package selection, some of us get lazy and just did not give us the task of looking at tasks and to change or choose a list of packages and do a $ cat
lista_de_paquetes play "or with false expectations, regardless of the capital needed to maintain or a clear business model, there are success stories, ubuntu at the helm, no capital and a company behind them, with a defined strategy, followed projects like mepis, lispire, progeny, Sandra and many others that I can not remember, in addition to that LinEX not exactly a business, is more a social project, but to say that debian is not for the company did not make any sense, So just what can you tell if you do not know the project, well I'm not far from debian developer but I know the project is at this moment I am a distro maintainer is still "toy." Debian
a community, an ideology not a business model that are responsible users and entrepreneurs, debian will fit in anywhere, the packages are "generic" (no other word I can think of now) without a lot of customizations that needed for convert the package to a debian package.
now say that companies believe they can manage the project is not clear who is doing business on free software, is precisely to give an addition to what is, for example, are strong lispire user customizations which are in skel, that and a few packages that are not in debian, that makes a difference and gives you an advantage a reason to be preferred and is this way you can charge.
me and finally relief. Salu2
