Monday, August 13, 2007. Road of Open Source success - II. In my last post. I tried to explain package manager as one of the key ingredients for open source success.

Saturday, September 1, 2007. I remember seeing a quotation on the red hat installer splash screen; I don't remember who quoted it though.

According to the project website. Shift Linux is based on Debian and Morphix, therefore it has access to all of the software and applications as other Debian distributions.".
