[Edu-sig] Distros you can love {was>> Re: creating an interface vs. using one (Michel Paul)}

[kirby urner]

Interesting idea, to have a discussion list source a distro.  Dunno if
that's been done.  But then, we're already unusual in being the focus
of a PhD thesis.

I do expect entrepeneurs will spin distros with custom demographics.
Katrina Recovery Zone might be a distro (KRZ), complete with music
theme tracks, film clips (first time you boot, check box if you don't
want to keep seeing it).  Curriculum, not just the distro, will center
on community building, levees.  Might partner with Dutch directly.

Given our new open source business models, I know there's no
permission needed premise, as long as GNU guidelines or whatever
licensing is obeyed.  Stray from the code, and you'll justifiably be
challenged, but the code is already very liberal, so I don't see
anything holding back the show in any legal sense.  Not waiting for
any green light from some powdered wig guy in a gown.
