I don't know that this will turn out to be "competition" pursee...It's just
hopefully another option...which to me is what Linux was all about
anyway...as the main developers tag says on the Yoper board..
" No Windows, NO Gates,
You can now go ANYWHERE you want to"
I'm waiting to hear from the head guy there. He may not want to see that
distro go in this direction for all I know. And they do not have a "tweaked
kernel" other than they do use Con Kolivas patches in the 2.6.8 kernel. Guess
it might be time for me to figure out how to do that huh? :)
