Oh, oh. This will never end... All right, but you've started it.

If we wnated to convert the debate to money issue. Do you think you can
get more from home users or companies? Esp. when there is a choice to pay
or to pay not?

Who is in charge of those companies' computers: common users or (less or
more) computer literate admins? Are those more likely to choose comfort or
control? (That is a tricky question since human kind tends to be lazy
often times. )


Well, those questins might not be too important, nut even from a marketing
point of view I would say it's better to keep doing what one is really
good at instead of trying to imitate other's that have been doing
something else and some of them got good at that.

In other words: Being more Deb like will probably not win a lot of Deb
users for Slackware, but can actually turn away some of its current users.


I did convert from Deb to Slack and I really do not think there would be a
thing to envy about automated package management. (Btw. even if they made
me have all the servers with Debian on them, they never made me run
apt-get on them as I would never run anything smart and automated on
production system.)
