“Linux.com: I’ve heard the LuteLinux
distribution described as being “a pretty face on Slackware.” Is
that an accurate description?”
“Jay Daunheimer: Yeah, I wouldn’t completely
disagree with it. Basically, in LuteLinux Lite, which is the
only distribution we’ve provided so far, we wrote our own installer
which was based on some of the Slackware work. We repackaged what
we thought was the best of Slackware into a “Lite” variety of
distribution to get our names out there and give ourselves a start.
LuteLinux Lite was developed in a 45-day period, and now we’re
working on the full LuteLinux distribution, which will be available
by this fall.“
“Linux.com: Will the full distribution be based
on Slackware or some other distribution?”
“Jay Daunheimer: Although it isn’t decided yet,
I don’t see it being based on Slackware.”
