User Feedback :: DSL Opportunity?

Not exactly, but they did take a more public approach. I did do a series of emails and also posted to their wiki.

That said, they are tied to Fedora (RH is an underwriter). So, their challenge is to put Fedora on an extreme diet.

What are the chances of that happening and still having a workable system? Not very high, IMHO. Red Hat is just too fat!

I don't agree with the support issue, I don't think Red Hat nor anyone else will provide any support for third-world consumers, they're on their own.

Red Hat may be fat, but it can be stripped like any other distro. Knoppix is fat, too, but look what John did to it =o)

Tao-jen,

No offense taken. I was just trying to emphasize a different perspective.
I am sensitive to issues regarding "third world countries." I do not even like that term, but most know what it means.
People in countries that are perceived by westerners as 'third world" are very open to open source and to changing the paradigm, thinking outside the box. OS's like DSL would/could flourish in those environments, that is why I hand out some DSL CD's in hopes that it will catch on. I know that at least one Internet Cafe I visit has DSL on at least one machine. I know that does not sound like much, but it is a start. I almost always 'forget' to grab my DSL CD's when leaving a 'net Cafe.....

i dunno, it sounds a bit gimmicky to me after reading the specs.
this guy wanted a crank shaft attached to the pc?
these are kids, i'd rather give them a games machine.
