I apologise, but is it worth transferring every spam on bugtraq (including SCO's and this kind of profanity) here?

Sorry for being harsh but my attitude to projects which cry a lot but do a bit *is* quite that, and Vincenzo seems not to understand what it means to be a Linux distribution these days. With silly things like wayward permissions on published tarballs, I'd *not* recommend anyone to follow the project just to help it survive. Heck, we already have quite a few distros with enough versatility to manage and to choose from.

Again, I believe that people who do that silly mistakes should educate themselves and (better yet) participate in more mature projects -- and definitely *not* try to start their own. Even then, lying like this:

"Linux Netwosix is a powerful and optimized Linux distribution for servers
and Network Security related jobs."

can't be acceptable.

Again, sorry for being harsh but Vincenzo apparently defended His Own Distro (tm) without taking the care to remove false sentiments from his continued spam on bugtraq. And even didn't thank for bugreports *yuk*.
