I'm confused by the new name - what are we blending and why confuse "Pure" and "Blend" in the same name? Emdebian is a customised Debian too - we will have two flavours soon, a functionally-identical but smaller Debian based on Squeeze (Emdebian Grip) and a maximally reduced flavour with functional changes called Emdebian Crush. http://www.emdebian.org/emdebian/flavours.html I was never particularly clear on why "Custom" was a bad name to use. There is Debian and there are variations of Debian that are customised for particular roles. Within those variations, flavours and sub-projects also exist. I can't see the reasoning for "Pure" "Blends" - doesn't make any sense to me. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
