[hackdaworld] hdwlinux on google

[hackbard <hackbard@hackdaworld.dyndns.org>]

hi folks

i just googled for hdwlinux. www.hdwlinux.org is first hit (thanks to 
maik for hosting) - though i would prefere the dyndns address to be first.
i recognized a cool quit message from ceduardo :))

*[22:53] -!- hioki [~ceduardo@63.101.133.12] has left #rocklinux ("And 
HDW Linux 0.1 is officially BugFree(tm), so if you receive any 
bug-reports on it, you know they are just evil lies.")

*thanks to joel maisenhelder ( http://joel.maisenhelder.net/ ) who put 
hdw on his link list. as far as i can see from his webpage he was doing 
stuff on rocklinux, the inspiration hdw grew up from. at the moment i 
can't imagine who it is - maybe i just know him by his nickname. thanks 
joel!

but there is something bad on the google results too. well, actually 
what makes it that bad, is the person who wrote it!

23:36 < dr_insolito> rocklinux == hdw ?
23:37 < Mike1> dr_insolito: _NO_!
23:37 < tcr> hdw?
23:37 < Mike1> dr_insolito: hdw = poor imitation / copy of rock linux source


:((
okay, here we go. first of all i think it is not an imitation. as stated 
on the hdw-linux intro page, it is an adaption of the rock linux scripts 
( actually just its concepts ) to the way lfs build a linux system. it 
is NOT a copy, it is definetly poor, but not a copy! :(
i remember Mike1 ( miguel bolanos ) was involved in hdw development. 
actually what he did was ... nothing! well some lousy attempts to get 
colors in hdw buildscript .. which was fixed by demian (jonathan) as it 
was bullshit. ah, and i nearly forgot about a perl script he tried to 
merge. as he actually forgot to exchange the name "rocklinux" in the 
scripts it was not applied ... and this person talks about hdw as a copy 
of rock :(
and beside blaming hdw, he is imho offending the rock guys as the hdw 
scripts are definetly too "poor" as to call it a copy. :(

well anyways, imho hdw kicks asses - i will use it for the rest of my life!
thanks to rock anyways - especially to clifford wolf 's brilliancy.

cu soon folks! have fun with hdw,
frank

ps: maybe it was good to read about that - i think i will work on hdw 
the weekend now :)
