yet another distro :(: msg#00021user-groups.foss.nepal
just release...it make a distinct name, don't it?. yea! we have our own distribution. we feel happy , community here doing the best. technically, they can do it. thats how you leave a good impact. unfortunately, i never wanna make remark that this is what linux will untimely failed against its enemies who declares it as a cancer of the century. afraid of this reality, It will fail to catch the progress, envision long ago and the most feared part is well we know it. This, as heart of the issue, everyone feels but never show off because their distro has made their life pretty easy. often, I feared myself when tends to treat some distro a diff platform, reluctant to switch because feel its different. Despite of this fear and rejection, I have to switch, at the time, I am dunked in the water. Friends circle around me and give shit about my dizzies, but really it made be fool. I have seen people being schadenfreude towards this community but that make me no wonder. Its true its our misfortune being a over freedom and enjoying it because we believe ourself a stubborn geek. long ago when SCO was a pretty good friend of Linux Community, with good initiative of few leading distro formed a LSB backed by Novell, RedHat .. more. The goal was pretty taugh -- develop and promote a set of standards for compatibility among Linux distro. they excited us, didn't they? As the community itself so diverse sometime impossible to reach in one agreement. Big communities huh!... even LSB had hard time to unite all. ..In number you count ..you find almost 2 dozen commercial distribution still active..if you have to those, not commercially, like debian and the derived like knoppix, ubuntu....nepallinux it will sure surpass the figure... However, whatever about to happen to LSB, I never gonna blame except those who backed it, touted the compliant, yet many don't and will never, those in Redhat and Novell, who love to mess the fundamental aspect of OpenSource theory or any standardization process, are the major obstacle to make this process into reality. They ripe the benefit from cloned model of their secondary distro which is a shadow fully owned by them as show case ...afterall they are opensource, aint they?. If they have gut to sepak about FOSS model as they were touting..ask them to release iso of redhat and suse...will they do..? why they are not releasing iso with sources or binary? Why they are cloning into shadow distro?..Until we get this answer we cannot say when standardization will begin. I dare to compare Sun Solaris as redhat/suse and OpenSolaris as fedora/opensuse...! and why have no reserved surprise that if redhat/novell changes its license to CDDL.. the main issue behind Debian, as being outside the sphere of LSB member company, was not adopting the innovation the debian has been doing. The dispute between standard package manager format was one of the crucial point where things are about to go ... The point of package format RPM dictating the specification leads the debian no LSB-compliant by default. To make me here point is most of successful distribution in the world are debian derived and if things leads like this, the dream of full-lsb complaint will be in vain. i see no future of desktop linux until this crucial issue is resolved and the biggest hurdle are two self clamed linux distro Novell SuSE and RedHat.start to realized.. till this day I believe releasing new distro make no sense. All effort we are pushing for localization or whatever are just for knowledge and experience...! even in ceratin country it did take a lead..will hardly last .. there is no real standardization draft so everyone can't comply with it. the ultimate user will always perfer windows. this is where the problem increasingly raising. anyway whatever the case is the days are sure ahead and the effort nepallinux team is doing will be fruitful. take my case no against any of your effort but the future itself is not cerntain for linux so its just my feared. |
