A UserLinux manifesto
From the manifesto:
"Play Favorites
I think it makes sense for an enterprise project to make choices among
the two complete GUIs available on Debian, the dozen web servers, and so
on. Having a bounded set of packages to collectively support and improve
is important, especially at the beginning. Additions to that list can be
driven by what customers are willing to pay for. Expect the initial
choosing to be painful. Of course any of the service providers can make
their own support choices from the full set of software in Debian, for
their own paying customers, overriding our choices."
This means KDE *OR* Gnome, not both in the default install. It means
(almost certainly) Apache. MySQL or PostGres (or Firebird, or...)
While any client could choose to install almost anything they want, the
CERTIFIED, DEFAULT configs will have to whittle down the number of
packages.
More like "Debian Streamlined" than Debian Stable.
Further discussion should probably be moved over to the list server Bruce
set up. http://lists.userlinux.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
