It's Time to Customize the OS

,----[ Quote ]
| Fortunately this is changing. IT departments are starting to tailor OSs to 
| gain agility, drive down support costs and enhance security. This is 
| particularly true in the Linux environment, where new tools are making the 
| promise of a tailored, fully supported Linux a reality.

| Customizing Linux
| 
| Ironically, although Linux is modular and designed to be customized, 
| relatively few organizations take advantage of the capability because of the 
| support issue.  
| 
| Linux vendors are addressing that by improving the granularity of their 
| packages to enable buyers to take existing Linux building blocks and apply 
| them in different combinations based on each user's needs. Linux's modular 
| architecture is ideal for creating JeOS because it can be easily stripped 
| down and modified.

,----[ Quote ]
| There’s a lot of talk around the internets about which (free) Linux distro is 
| the ‘best.’ And while this article won’t opine either way, I do hope to put 
| some perspective on the Linux debate using public data.
