Both are commercial companies around a free code base. You have to mess with packages. Otherwise upgrades won't work. Unless you expect your users to rebuilt all of your packages. If you want to make a simple and trivial installation you have to assume many things about the packages, and packages (or whatever components you use) have to adhare to strict policy. Debian has a concept of "custom distribution", which is basically a subset of Debian with some extra configuration. http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?CustomDebian > > 3)Help in designing the site it would be based on moinmoin wiki > and be online soon enough. > > 4)We are trying hard to find a yoetz leshuni both for the dictionary > and for reviewing translations.
