A VERY IMPORTANT POINT TO NOTE. Has PCQuest
released the source code
for PCQLinux 2006? If not then they have violated the GNU GPL and I
think someone should take legal action against them. I am bugged by
They are actually voilating GPL. They are required to publish the
sources of all the packages included on their distribution either on
CDs or somewhere on the internet.
They are required to provide source to anyone who has their binaries
upto a period of three years. Write to them asking for the source along
with proof of purchase. The GPL violation will occur IFF they don't
provide you with the source.
I remember there was a poll on their forum asking
wether PCQLinux
should be based on Debian or Fedora. I'm just guessing Debian should
have given them far lesser issues, as its a remastering friendly
distribution.
More people are familiar with the RH brand name and with RPM. Plus, a
better choice than Debian would have been Ubuntu, and frankly, Ubuntu in
its current state isn't suited to the Indian market.
