Libranet GNU/Linux 2.0 Coming Soon

I feel I should note, of all the vaunted Debian based commercial distributions (Stormix, Corel, Progeny) Libranet is the only one left. We got started before they did and here we still are. Libranet has proven that to stay in the race what you need is a good product rather than millions of dollars behind you; but that's what the world of Free/Open software is all about, isn't it? - Tal" I love Debian, but have never tried Libranet. (The machine I'm typing on was installed with a Stormix CD; my laptop started as a Progeny machine...) Since we seem to be running out of other Debian-based distros, looks like Libranet is my next choice. :)

    Instead of ripping off a fine, commercially successful distribution, they rip off a fringe distro like Debian. What do these Canadians have against success?

  5. The distro I would like to see.. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'd like to see a distribution where:
    - The system is single user (Personal Computer=PC). There should of course be a root for security when installing binaries. But the philosophy should be single user.
    - No SysV initialization and shit. An MS-DOS like startup (I propose two files AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS on / in honor of MS-DOS).
    - No useless network servers by default.
    - No RPM or deb packages. The user should be able to download latest sources and install them. There should be for example: /usr/src/Foo-1.2 and /usr/doc/Foo/ with help for installation and use. The file /usr/bin/foo-executable should be a symlink to /usr/src/foo/foo-executable. The man pages and the etc files too.
    - Each package should have an URL where the lates t version can be obtained.
    - The filesystem hierarchy should be simple. No /usr/local shit. Most should be /home centric.

    And many more ideas. Contact me if you are interested in doing such a project.

  6. GNU/Linux by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    While surfing in Libranet server, in the section "About Linux", there is a link "Why called GNU/Linux" which I clicked because I was curious. It took me on a page with a goat. I tried to close the page and a new window poped out in my Opera that "You Have Been Detected. Your Boss Knows What you are doing." and then I was taken to a server goatse.cx where I saw an image of a man exhibiting his anus. I almost puked on my keyboard.

    Don't follow the GNU/Linux link!
