An unmaintained distro becomes > unusable very quickly. i keep agreing with Matias. plus consider nowadays is easy to fall into mystified visions of "updating to the latest", but this is not necessary in all cases, it just depends. one of the main focuses of dyne:bolic for instance is that of supporting old computers and it doesn't helps to just upgrade any time a new version of a kernel, application or library is available. also the fact it can be customized into ad-hoc LiveCDs can be a reason to not upgrade, to avoid breaking backward compatibility with user-built software modules. actually, from a user point of view, the lack of updates on a system that is already solid and does what it should do, is reassuring ground for more sustainable personal customisations. not sure i made my point clear here, such a position is so under represented nowadays that it would deserve longer explanations and better examples, however i'm just chipping in some thoughts "contro corrente" matured while building a gnu/linux distribution with a large and specialized user base. ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org developer, http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJMD2qQAAoJEAslGzkIl3JRSRsgALN6cK+36NgfIJEB2M1WakFq V2Vq2NH6oEipOdJcuxsrM2GJUpKPYaNjb+AW4jt//9JmvDg9qQlLsb8/SYCQTvAn GaSlvEZMJ1lOJenMxApOc4JBzHQb/c3wq66OzPbPhmosYxd6/YN/25aqcynFGw4E LSjXBPmJOAcFZpMUVPi0APilSeU1LBkBj0b0CSLackl/XNBy2TcUd0/gHgxhBEsY zx+n/s9D9wAW+h+QacsX/g44EeErJOwwdDshIkm2umZMQ/3fjlqmZovZsVfHPiGA 6MnhlXnGGJ8UtHdDezKeDZiJuULmKTw9oVzkqY5PHoXQSHAbhw2Zf5gfND4Hgxuj 10Ex8nPmkCyBZ375+F/68g2ZNCNmLGOYtzZS+L9WBpqBCNtb/yaGQ4GMTYqb+h/i /iAodalx+v1ytt/UGads5U0bwz0/vaKLBORBQnktjtdAUmHTZAV2A7Z8Hky9df58 Kfuo8IAERUGBIuASPUrOIRm8rotmbrhytgkX+neGlwod4GN0THFwqlgJSzix0Hdv B7SeYCEmor6o1en7nMAHOA/Oo5Y4KBIj3nb6QU5OvbVHTqMB8zgS4ooXsKTwDAVK Om41D4eZSFUEaW24Q2g2q5bfI21Bibpf79f1lWxRdVjh6oxgXzjmHXslPDN5fF0m Ue/DqJ+oGxJWOMwnBfn6bkoxYwus58wqpeSZ0V8o+LmvKgyZEr0ChvIhcnczCYSz dsENB86NydXR0oZPqsbI9faZjrVqBaZHW4T+L+wDTnLAViSBXu7mPj4fqgebhmQH a7OdoOpdn7LN5P1w5JL70Z7j1qnGYxNtE1Rkvkfay835zHs7keLrZ0mcB+PeqcTS MszlxSh9p72gC6RA2w06ofxHrusPv0TZd/7cTaTlm6BixRASABAQ70EUrlCi1c9N VcKHe67zbiMWvaGBbawau5Z9bnwH53mw42N3BcSEc0+AS1GziwEjPTu5xL6M2Ign ltrmubrXrj474XQPeh3Cn1ZnvYyocqlWYKKuR976aZh8EPo2zCtxb+XZE8ST6Fj1 UAZ4HwF3ZmOPS0tSzJ4O1eOXP32LM0Oyu9rg9UwuCsA2MD2ykE3ylAc2eBFij4dg GMWgx9f2wn8u9BJSiHQTE/lcMhah+JkO52VDjC3NR+DkfEm45iQ3oSDgoRr5vhRq T0zeF8KC3kSAsFG8IHOvWhK3mYCtXcgxGXejzE/2pMzjvy0FYsm1sJglnETE+FZt clm8VtP2KG2uhQ/OrXG3xUqTlzSqKp73qS1a79TtDeR7QuAwnF6ebkX9eWnikd4J wCUIGqTsXHT3leblY7piOoWQHrcKOrD6GEgDL04Xs6FtZl834VQsmxpmjxrnz3M= =cWV6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
