In other words, it's great for deploying at companies when you can't be around -- like most small consultants are for at small companies. The last time I checked out work on SME, a number of Debian users were complaining that it should be Debian based. I have like Debian (Murdock's attitudes, used to be a maintainer too, etc...), but I thought it was rather self-defeating to move away from all the work that had already been done for the Red Hat Linux / RPM lineage. Especially since those people were not very into the existing codebase (or support). I think it's great that they are going to base it on CentOS 4! And I'm glad to hear there is an Alpha test available. -- Bryan J. Smith | Sent from Yahoo Mail mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org | (please excuse any http://thebs413.blogspot.com/ | missing headers)
