Second thought :
Why Would I want to use Slitaz (instead of, say, Ubuntu) ?
- because it small, fast, can run in memory, has the frugal install capability, which means, i cant really destroy it if playing with it (i would destroy the copy in memory, which obviously is no big deal). Clearly, these are major differentiators
- because i get good support when asking questions here: the community is small enough that the problems end up 'in the right hands'
Bottom line:
- keep it small (which is the case); keep it fast;
- improve everything which has to do with tazlito, tazusb, frugal install: there are a number of issue that make either of these break (i had to struggle to get tazlito do what i want, and still cannot get tazusb to work, i might be wrong but i assume i am not the only one here).
That should include a better way to handle "personnal" tazpkg (eg converted from deb packages), which could help for upgrades also...
- make sure the basics work and/or get fixed. EG, once it is found that a dependency was forgotten when building a package, or that a package needs fixing, fix it in the repos (eg, abiword, get_openoffice and get_flashplayer, and others). This includes also the documentation.
3.0 was 2 years ago, 4.0 will be out soon. I view this (2 years) as an advantage: I like stable environments. It is very hard for a small community to support several versions at a time.
in other words, keep on the good work....
