DIY Carrier Grade Linux with Debian
An anonymous reader writes "Carrier Grade Linux, once the domain of big-bucks Bells and commercial software vendors, just became more attainable for universities, companies running high-availability web services, and average Linux hackers interested in learning what goes into the world's most reliable, maintainable, and available systems. The Debian project, backed by HP, has launched the Debian-Carrier Grade Linux subproject, and registered Debian-CGL with version 2.02 of the CGL spec. LinuxDevices has created a simplified version of the registration form that lets you see which Debian packages to apt-get, and which packages you'll have to download and compile out side of Debian, in order to get your own Carrier Grade Linux setup."
Ok... Ubuntu was a bad example on my part.
There were a number of distributions about 4 years ago, many of which have 'folded' by now that would initially claim "FooLinux based on Debian".
Ok great.
But then they'd go on to say "FooLinux's innovative package system called Foomaptic-get" which was a symlink to apt-get or aptitude, and it was pointed at FooLinux's mirror of Debian unstable, everything renamed. Stuff like that.
So I don't have other examples or sources, which makes my point appear weak and therefore I'm an asshat. This is Slashdot. Hit PgDown a couple of times and it will have already turned into an Apple Fanboy Dickwaving discussion anyways.
However, I still stand by my statement that IMHO Debian has their shit together the most out of all the rest of the Linux systems.
