4. Re: Survey (Brett Parker)
Please could you explain what you mean when you said that if I tweek a popular distro I am narrowing my support choices and have interesting software licensing combinations? Please see that it is a specific distro in the already small Linux desktop arena. I am not a techie, and have a resources budget, thus I am hoping to use a popular distro for the kernel / apps infrastructure and security updates rather than build it from scratch. Nonetheless there are specific tweeks. Please see these responses to some other users on another mailing list:
The thing about Linux is that it is not a monopoly in comparison to Microsoft Windows. There is not a Linux distro monopoly either. Thus based on these generics I don't see you have a valid argument. Regarding specifics, basically there is no other distro doing specific k/K alteration for the users in the West/Internationally, rail modelling from a spiritual perspective amongst other differentiators and all this based on a Spiritual Master's wishes and philosophy.
.....Also it is a root based philosophy, thus this distro is for a wider audience. The other popular distros have a big development base though it is only material. This distro is for beyond religion, the spiritual realm. This root based philosophy says water the root of the plant and not it's leaves because then it is successful.
......I hope these responses bring some progress for this important project.
