[nfbcs] Sonar or Vinux

[John Heim via nfbcs]

My experience as of about 1 year ago was that sonar was a way more 
polished product than vinux. I've seen a lot of questions about vinux 
like when is the new version coming out, why is it still based on some 
old version of ubuntu. Like so many open source projects, there was 
probably one person, maybe two, driving the project and when they ran 
out of steam, the project slowed to a crawl.

I was so impressed with sonar that I put it on my machine at home. And I 
put it on what I call my drop dead emergency machine here at work. Sonar 
is that solid.

The one problem I have with sonar is that they are switching from basing 
their distro on ubuntu to basing it on arch linux. I will probably drop 
sonar once that conversion is complete. I have to stay with a debian 
fork because my job is to support debian.  What I'd really like is to 
have debian be so accessible that we wouldn't need either sonar or 
vinux. Well, one can dream.
