In a recent email from RMS to the head developer of Parabola GNU/Linux, Nicolas Reynolds, he said:

"Of you ask for it, we will put your poject into the [libre distros] list. But we don't encourage making
new libre distributions. We don't need more libre distributions, what we need is more people working
harder to enhance already existing libre distributions."

Nicol�answered:

"Richard, gracias por contestar. Hemos pedido ser incluidos en la lista
de distribuciones libres hace unos d�.

Comprendo lo que dices, y no es nuestro objetivo convertirnos en una
distro nueva (completamente diferente de Arch). Solamente proveemos
mirrors e im�nes instalables de Arch que no recomiendan software
propietario. Ahora queremos empezar proyectos nuevos en base a este
trabajo inicial, como dice la presentaci�br>
Arch es distinta a las distribuciones m�conocidas, y como usuarios nos
sentir�os inc�os usando otra."

"Richard, thanks for replying. We asked to be included in the libre distributions
list few days ago.

I understand your point, and it isn't our objetive to be a new distro (totally
different from Arch). We only provide mirrors and Arch installable images that
do not recommend propietary software. As presentation states [0], we now want
to start new projects based on this initial works.

Arch is different from mainline distributions, and we as users of Arch would feel
uncomfortable using other distros."


I really like SliTaz and I'm learning it in my free time, mostly playing with it and
finding�my way, so take�my words as from whom they come:
SliTaz as a groundbreaking awesome distro. If you have enough�willing to bring to
life the proposed changes, go on.
1- If you transform yourselves in a %100 libre distro, it would be cool, but if you rather
fork yourselves to a %100 libre twin, it would be cool too.
2- +1 for a RR scheme (in the long term it's a way easier to maintain and support)
3- Cooking packages in a minimal chroot is a *MUST*

I know I'm nowone here but I really like your work and wanted to give my own 2 cents
of feedback.
