Springdale Linux

I wish the Rocky Linux people every success.

Just a gentle reminder that Springdale Linux (formerly PUIAS Linux) was there first, is now, and intends to be going forward. Below from a member of the project (I have no connection with the project other than being a satisfied and mostly clueless end user)...

"The Springdale community has no plans to go anywhere. Taking source code and re-compiling it is not in any way a novel or unique concept. We have the resources to remain independent and this has set us apart, for now." --Brian Rose on the springdale-users Google-groups mailing list. See the thread at...

It strikes me that the Springdale team already have a build system and the associated knowledge. They are focussed on the needs of their users in a number of universities and seem prepared to continue to chuck their work over the wall.
