For example there should be a minimal base install of Devuan that allows anyone to build upon and make a derivative; there should be a server install aimed at system administrators, and there yes, you can default to vim and postfix; and there should be a default desktop install with XFCE. But making such choices as ignoring new users by default is in my opinion a sorry strategy when it's so easy to build upon a sane base. > > Second focus is to be a "base framework" for derivatives > *** Well, I think that the "base framework" should be the default Devuan, and everything we do is built upon that e.g., as Blends. == hk -- _ _ We are free to share code and we code to share freedom (_X_)yne Foundation, Free Culture Foundry * https://www.dyne.org/donate/ _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
