Re: SEUL: Common SEUL/e-linux tools needed

[bruce@pixar.com (Bruce Perens)]

Well, if SEUL wanted to derive from Debian you'd not have the
organizational problems. Especially since SEUL seems to have settled
on the 100% free software issue and would thus warrant full cooperation
from Debian and possibly even some financial support from SPI.

Producing a good Linux distribution is _difficult_. It's a lot easier
to produce good installation programs, easy package management, and
interfaces for naive' users, and leave the rest to 200 people who have
already solved the other problems.

You'd also have the advantage of being distributed on Debian CDs (tens
of thousands sold), Debian's 80 FTP sites, its intercontinental web
network, etc.
