Ermine Packer 2.1.0: GNU/Linux software deployment made easy
,----[ Quote ]
| Ermine, the commercial alternative to the popular Statifier package makes it
| easy to create executables that will run on nearly any GNU/Linux system. This
| new major release vastly simplifies the packing of multiple binaries into one
| executable that is independent from the target system's libraries.

Package management
,----[ Quote ]
| Those are some of the package managers out there. I hope you can see the
| differences between them after reading this. The early package managers were
| collections of simple install, remove and update routines. While APT was
| eventually developed to be very feature-rich, third-party package managers
| for Slackware Linux are mostly simple programs that add dependency resolution
| and one or two other features. RPM was an evolution of the package manager
| closer to a complete package management system. It added features like
| dependency checking, tracking, automatic installation and checksum
| verification.

Do we really need another packaging system?
,----[ Quote ]
| The reality of the situation is that the differences between distros gives
| people a chance to innovate more with how a Linux system works. Trying to
| funnel everything down through some common layer at the bottom really reduces
| the chances for big innovation to happen.

Why Having 500+ Distros is a Good Thing
,----[ Quote ]
| Perhaps next time the author might think about what they're
| saying...because limiting the number of distros out there is
| absolutely NOT the way to go to accomplish anything other
| than limiting innovation.
