“Ewdi : I understand LinuxInstall was based on
RedHat Linux, what was your reason to fork from Red Hat instead of
others?“Thomas : It’s mainly because I’m more familiar
with Red Hat Linux than any other distro. I’ve used Mandrake,
Yellow Dog, SuSE, Slackware, Debian, Lycoris, Xandros, JAMD,
Knoppix, K12LTSP, Lindows and even Gentoo. Out of all these fine
different distro, I was very impressed with one distro. It was
“JAMD” (Just Another Modified Distribution). It was also based on
Red Hat Linux with KDE for default desktop environment. I knew then
this is what we were looking for my company’s Linux project at
work–“A custom Linux Installer with custom Linux Applications” I
began this work project right away and it went to production in 3
months from development. Then I realized this is so good to be kept
in just the work environment so I’ve decided to release it as GPL.
Of course without company’s proprietary software and company’s
security policies…”
