Distribution Awesome-ness

June 6, 2007 3:48 am General

After my last post identifying some of the attractions of Ubuntu, it was nice to see Mike Kupfer’s experiences during Mark’s visit to Menlo Park. Ubuntu was an amazing success, though had the very obvious benefit of learning from 15+ years of distribution development. Now I’m also pleased to see Fedora making some real progress on some of their nits, including the excellent Revisor and somewhat surprising step into doing patch RPMs as a way to cut down bandwidth costs despite experiences in SuSE with deltarpm.

Jim pointed me at this article on Indiana – the last paragraph is particularly note worthy and something I’ve personally been thinking a lot about in the past few weeks. This is the bar we have to Fosbury over.
