Thirty days with PCLinuxOS - The case of Ultumix or How not to remaster
PCLinuxOS

,----[ Quote ]
| In preparation for the series about PCLinuxOS I ran into Ultumix, a remaster 
| of PCLinuxOS. I have nothing against remasters. In fact, I created a 
| customized version of Ubuntu for the book about Linux. Hence, I know it is 
| not easy to do, though far easier than to create a new distribution of your 
| own. I wouldn’t dream of rebranding it with another name.

| One of the most obvious is to identify where you may have GPL licensed code 
| like BusyBox within your infrastructure or developments. To that end there 
| are at least three different tools available. OpenLogic offers a tool called 
| OSS Discovery which can discover BusyBox as well as 900 other open source 
| products.
