Now Stormix is no more . . .
With the recently reported demise of Stormix Technologies, creators of the *excellent* Storm Linux, is anyone at Debian looking to taking over any of the apps they developed? I am thinking particularly of the superb installation routine; SAS, the GUI administration modules and Storm Package Manager, the front-end to apt. Storm Package Manager is available in Debian Unstable (+ Testing?) already. Has anyone here tried Libranet? from what I have read it is a very nice distribution, also based on Debian, but I am not keen on the fact there is no downloadable version and there appears to be no Libranet site usable with apt-get - it certatainly looks like there is no apt-get upgrade path apart from using Debian sources. If this is the case there doesn't seem to be much point buying Libranet instead of Debian. -- Phillip Deackes Using Debian Linux

Just a short note here. stormpkg and SAS will be further developed via sourceforge, where already some people created the nessecary projetcs and will maintain the code.

Who is we and why do you want to help out? Do you know what SourceForge is and what kind of connection and machines they already donate? SAS and stormpkg will remain GPL as they are currently licensed under GPL.
