I worked in the BOSS linux team from 2010-2012. I can probably answer some questions.
Let me address the most common sentiment..
Why BOSS when we already have Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat etc.?
Support - gov bodies moving to linux need guaranteed support at optimal cost.
Localization - if you are working with Indian languages primarily, BOSS linux provides a better experience out of the box.
Some customization - some depts. request and get further customized versions.
- shared4you 11y agoWhat is BOSS Linux's contribution to upstream (Debian) ? AFAIK, it's zero. Some gripes about BOSS: (1) On the BOSS Download page, the download button downloads i386. Why isn't the 64-bit ISO listed there ? (2) Why are there no torrents for ISOs ? Don't they know how bad Internet connection in India is ? As far localization, my experience had been that BOSS is no better than Debian.
