Hi George and others,
what, if any, other debian-derived distrobutions(DDD) have any relationship
with Debian in regards to developer communication, patch submission,
number of packages that are used directly from debian and which are DDD
maintained. Moreover, would it be helpful to have a document that lists
criteria for how closely DDDs work with Debian. There are many:
Kantonix, Knoppix, Gnoppix, Morphix, Ubuntu,... And user-folken may not
be aware of the relationships and may assume that all DDD are in total
collaboration with Debian.
Cheers,
kev
