Re: [orca-list] Vinux 1.3 Released!

[Ignasi Cambra <ignasicambra gmail com>]

Just an other thought about this: I don't see why people complain so  
much about installs like this one, because we can download from the  
Ubuntu website some 6 or 7 versions of the same OS, customized for  
different people's needs. I'm talking about Edubuntu, Ubuntu Studio  
etc. I think it's obvious that certain groups of people have certain  
needs, and that a mainstream product, which already has the basics  
that everyone needs, can be customized to fit someone's needs. And I  
think that's all Vinux is doing.
