Is there anything innovative or just fun in those?
For example, Gobolinux (now dead) tried to restructure the filesystem. NixOS (pretty obscure) tries to innovate with package management. Vyatta (dead, don't miss this one) tried to bring Cisco-like look-and-feel CLI for GNU/Linux based routing. And so on. What's fancy in those mentioned distros - I mean, except for the packages they have installed and/or pre-configured by default?
- reikonomusha 13y agoA long, long time ago when I was learning C++, I remember the Gobolinux folks were always happy to make new packages ("recipes" as they were called) for me and add them to the repo. In particular, I remember them kindly adding Code::Blocks. The people behind it were truly generous with their time, and Gobo had, in my opinion, absolutely outstanding ideas. I do wish it took off.
