answered by my /rant/ about firmware and clusers
My point about the FSF Debian sister project was that it can be done so
easily that it gives us something to aim for. I already know if such a
was started - I probably wouldn't use it, but would likely just like
GNU/Hurd and even ReactOS keep a close eye on it.
What on earth is a cluser? And I can't see anything in your reply about
firmware all I see is explanations for Ubuntu's success which I'm not in
the least bit interested in.
3) Lets try a medium ground between stable and testing.
I thought you said an alpha release. That is testing. I am not a developer
and I don't use testing, I use Sid. In my eight years with Debian, testing
seems a ....... BLAH BLAH BLAH
<snip>
one more step will do, or how do you talk volunteers into more work?
This wouldn't be one more step... as I have already explained! It won't
be unstable -> testing -> alpha -> stable... that would be plain stupid.
Alpha will just be a slightly re-badged ISO (one of the weekly generated
ones) that represents a significant but feasibly usable step... it
doesn't need a separate repository or much management at all. Please
re-read what I originally wrote about this idea, I don't think you
grasped how simple the suggestion was.
It wasn't about Ubuntu vs Debian...
Responded to your " FSF endorsing an OS that has a 'Ubuntu Base' <- (again,
*vomits*)" etc etc comments. Sounds like you made it against Ubuntu.
Thats my personal view, your not meant to go to red alert over it... I
even put a disclaimer at the top.
Agreed.
Please respond back to the debian-user list.
You have a reply-to set you realise so replies go to yourself and not
the list.
Sincerely...
