Re: forks, derivatives, other distros - what are you thinking/doing
After a while I deleted most threads on systemd because I do have to get
some work done. And by the time Jessie becomes stable, some of the
questions will undoubtedly have been resolved. However, this Subject
line drew my attention.
I'm a debian-user who has no expertise in coding, Debian's viscera or in
system-administration. Years ago I moved from OS/2 to Debian because of
its philosophy and more recently because I thought it less prone to
backdoors. However, when I thought of upgrading to Jessie testing I came
to realize that it was premature to do so. As a "debian-user", because
of basic issues that affect politics, philosophy and usability, I have
to decide when Jessie becomes stable whether to jump ship to something
like BSD, Slackware, or Debian from Scratch.
This seems to me an entirely legitimate issue for the debian-user
group, for it concerns whether Debian will continue to be useful in
relation to the needs and values of its average user.
