I wish them much success. I have always had issues with the granularity of their package managment system. Again, I see a user's post wanting xcalc but the apt-get would want to install a ton of stuff. How would this work on a liveCD even with unionfs. Seems to me, it would require a huge machine to be able to truly dynamically add software. It is precisely this reason, why I developed the mydsl to allow easy addon applications in such an environment. However, my target, small footprint and old hardware, is much different than theirs. I expect that they, like most other Linux distributions will only get larger and demand much more capable hardware. It will be interesting to watch their development. There ceratinly is much knowledge and advancments from which to draw on.
