Exactly. Greg mentioned earlier in this thread that it is a pity Storm is a commercial distribution. I feel it is worth pointing out that Storm *is* Debian with extras. The important point is that, so far, these extras are all available for anyone to use and can be installed on a plain Debian distro. This is very different from the way Corel did things and is one of the reasons I feel Stormix deserves our support. You can but a 'free' Cheapbytes CD and still get a full Storm install. I like the combination of the Debian we all know and love with the spit and polish of Stormix. For the first time I can advocate a Debian distro to those thinking of trying Linux. Previously I just had to steer them away towards Mandrake or SuSE because I knew they would not make it past dselect. It will inevitable mean more people end up using Debian and the Debian package format, to the benefit of us all. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux
