"It's a limited market." Fantastic! That's the perfect reason to do something like this. Sadly I don't think anyone will be doing it in one night, I believe that this is a realistic request. The whole point of Linux (and Unix before it) is to have a group of tools, a toolbox if you will, that can be easily refactored, reorganized and redeployed to fit the problems you face. What he is asking for is a toolbox that comes with the tools he wants from the start, and he can't find a Sears that carries it. The only issue I have with the whole thing is I wish he would do it, not ask others to solve his problems for him.

- mileszs 18y agoWhich company? One of the companies that already make a distribution of Linux? I'm sorry, but I don't understand whose responsibility you believe it to be to create this distribution. As the author of the article alluded to, if it were to get made, it would probably get made by hobbyists.
- mechanical_fish 18y agoIsn't the whole point of a company to solve its customers' problems for them?? Well, that's different. How much is the author willing to pay?
- icco 18y agoYa, I was not seeing this as a company thing. I don't believe that a Linux distribution is a smart way to start a company(although it has been done), I think it would be a fun project if I had the time though.
