Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:
Each one, make one - the distro debate
,----[ Quote ]
| Michlmayr was the person who spoke the longest and he openly
| discussed some of the issues which Debian faces - the decision to
| omit binary blobs altogether from the kernel in Debian, for one.

| Richard Keech of Red Hat, Martin Michlmayr of the Debian GNU/Linux
| project, Leon Brooks of Cyberknights (Mandriva), Shane Oxenby of
| Oracle (Oracle Unbreakable Linux - not a separate distribution per
| se with the support program being the differentiator), and
| Christopher Smart (Gentoo, and to some extent his own distribution
| Kororaa based on Gentoo) all spoke briefly listed the
| distinguishing features of their distributions.

| Strangely, the best known and most widely used distribution,
| Ubuntu, had no-one to plug its good points. The same went for
| Novell's SuSE Linux too though one member of the audience admitted
| to being a user.

Ubuntu and SuSE absent from a debate on proprietary blobs?
What a surprise.
