“Stormix Technologies, Inc. really caught my eye with their ads
in Linux Journal. “A storm is coming. It’s time to close the
Windows(tm)” was their slogan. Eye-popping graphics made it an
all-around an enticing ad. Having ads in the LJ before even the
beta distributions were made available added to my anticipation of
the debut of Storm Linux as well.”
“Storm Linux is a distribution based upon Debian. I’ve tried the
Debian installation in the past, and it seems as if Stormix
addressed many of my complaints about the Debian installation
process. They’ve added a nice GUI installation, backed by a
Text-mode installation that I found myself falling back upon in
several early instances. I’ve seen some criticisms in the news
groups and list-serves about the choices and features offered
during the installation, but compared to to other Debian
installations, these criticisms are really unjustified….”
“Storm’s major contribution to the Debian format is the
Storm Administration System (SAS). SAS is a lightweight
administration tool for configuring networking, users, etc.
The SAS is very intuitive to use, and lessens the learning curve
for those who might be a little too used to the way that RedHat
does things. If you’re totally new to Linux, the SAS fits in to
rather nicely to sys-admin duties.”
