Greetings citizens of the list,
I've just joined, and I probably should introduce myself. I'm Vik
Olliver, consultant, deve,oper, artist and long-time Linux abuser in New
Zealand.
It ocurred to me that a distro with such a small footprint would be an
ideal candidate for peer-to-peer updating. The likes of Red Hat would
not be happy, of course, as they make money out of distributing their
updates fro a central location. Very nice of them to make it a free
service and all, but they seem to have to limit access from time to
time. A Gnutella- of freenet-like system that could find the nearest
node(s) and aquire the latest GPG-signed updates would get around this.
Vik :v)
