Sure, that's would be fine (even if I'm not sure if that's really useful -- it might be better to provide simple tools enabling people to build their own CDs with the software they care about, like what openSUSE is doing). What I'm saying is that we really don't need to name each of those CDs differently, leading people to believe that Gebian, Kebian and Xebian are different distributions, when only the set of packages installed by default is changing. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
