Twobuntu talk
,----[ Quote ]
| Mark said that: “Ubuntu could have derived from Red Hat, SuSE, Gentoo…”
| However, Mark did not do this, and instead forked Debian and hired a number
| of its best developers. Furthermore, I also disagree with the premise that
| he needed to derive from any codebase at all. A major theme of my talk is
| that what makes Debian so great is that it supports many hardware platforms
| and contains many software packages, built to work together. Why could
| his improvements not be done directly into Debian, just like HP and
| many other companies and interests have done? Finally, if Mark thinks
| he could have had so much success deriving from any other distro, Debian
| is not the special thing he claims it to be.
