Hi there,
I'm always interested in pure Debian based Live-CDs. I was half way building my own read-only root fs, when I noticed grml. I wish I had known it earlier. I have to say grml is exactly the type of Live distro that I've been looking for for a long long time. Browsing through the web site, I know it has got lots of publicity in the German speaking world. But I think it lacks the equivalent publicity in the English speaking world. In summary, such nice distro deserved to have more people to know and use...
Ok, here are my questions.
I'd like to know the philosophy behind the grml releases. I used to use Debian testing, but recently revert to stable because the vulnerability of Debian testing. So you know I'm always on the cautions side. I know Knopsis, Ubunto does a lot of QA testing before the release. How about grml? Seems to me that grml pick its release packages only based on the cut off date. How about the problems/errors that inherited from the packages of the cut off date? Can't imaging so many tools will have one perfect day to be error free. Do you revert several versions back on those packages that have problems? In short, Debian unstable always has the potential to be unstable. What's the mechanism in place for grml to avoid it?
thanks
