Linux.com: Spending Time With Aduva

Linux.com: What is the concept behind
Aduva?”

“The motto “Release early, release often” seems to have a
corollary that people take for granted: “Update a lot”. In the
Linux world, that goes for kernel, hardware drivers, and most
important, packages.”

“The Linux newbie, and the experienced administrator are then
faced with the option of “if it is working don’t touch it” or to go
all the way down to the many dependencies which a single package
may have. Hardware installation, sometimes, is also far from
trivial, requiring rebuilds of modules, creation of device files,
and so on. Kernel compilation to a specific box can also be a
challenge for some people.”

The concept behind Aduva is to shield newbie users from all
the headaches, and let them concentrate on using the system and
extracting from it as much as possible. Expert and Intermediate
users are benefiting from our Kernel compilation and from our
knowledge base, which is a major time saving feature for procedures
that every Linux user is faced with.
We achieve those goals by
serving a single interface to the entire system, with enough
granularity in the automation process to serve all levels of users,
from my mom to any guru.”
