Bruce Perens: the Linux colonel talks (vnunet)Bruce Perens: the Linux colonel talks (vnunet)Posted Sep 9, 2004 8:03 UTC (Thu) by hppnq (guest, #14462)In reply to: Bruce Perens: the Linux colonel talks (vnunet) by gvy Parent article: Bruce Perens: the Linux colonel talks (vnunet)
Great, maybe. Innovative, no: ALT Linux was two years into this model before RH and SuSE started scratching their heads in a visible manner. Damn! ;-) I humbly bow to ALT Linux, of whom I must admit I had never heard before. Cheers for the pointer, mate. It's a weak defense, but I was really only thinking of the major distributions, although I am aware that there is a vast number of unique Linux distributions, each of them with their own merits, as well as Linux companies that are developing business models that hopefully serve them well. Don't you just love Open Source? ;-)

Bruce Perens: the Linux colonel talks (vnunet) Posted Sep 15, 2004 7:51 UTC (Wed) by angdraug (subscriber, #7487) [Link] ALT Linux, of whom I must admit I had never heard before No wonder: ALT Linux is really big in Russian-speaking countries (here in Minsk it is second only to Debian), but has zero marketing outside of Russia.
