My desktop OS: GRML (NewsForge)
NewsForge takes
a look at a relatively unknown distribution called GRML. "GRML says it's for "users of
texttools and system administrators," but GRML actually offers more. It's
Linux that "just works." My users are not geeks, but GRML makes all our
lives easy."

My desktop OS: GRML (NewsForge) Posted Mar 7, 2006 21:23 UTC (Tue) by daniels (subscriber, #16193) [Link] According to the article, Ubuntu 'violate[s] Debian standards', and Ubuntu and Kubuntu are forks. Neither of these are even remotely true.

My desktop OS: GRML (NewsForge) Posted Mar 7, 2006 22:33 UTC (Tue) by rickmoen (subscriber, #6943) [Link] Daniel has a point: It's past time for both reporters and my fellow Debianistas to cease making these unfair and inaccurate statements about Ubuntu, and instead appreciate the major contributions they've made and keep making. They've been good citizens and an asset to the community; give them a break. Rick Moen
My desktop OS: GRML (NewsForge) Posted Mar 8, 2006 21:53 UTC (Wed) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625) [Link] I'm appreciating as fast as I can. Here's a good overview of where Ubuntu is going from Mark Shuttleworth. Down with binary compatibility!
Article misses the point Posted Mar 7, 2006 23:07 UTC (Tue) by cantsin (subscriber, #4420) [Link] I am a fond user of GRML (as a boot CD), but can only wonder about this strange article. The point of GRML is to be a Knoppix-like live CD that boots straight into terminal mode, and focussing on an excellent terminal work environment. For example, it uses a carefully configured zsh as its default shell, and includes software like TeX/LaTeX which desktop-centric CDs like Knoppix have tossed out in favor of a complete desktop work environment. It's an excellent, more featureful alternative to booting Knoppix into text-mode with cheatcode "2". Using either Knoppix or GRML to install a Debian system onto a hard drive has become obsolete IMHO with Debian 3.0 and debian-installer (which does automatic hardware detection).
