Здравствуйте.
Люди добрые, так кто-то поможет заполнить LWN Survey, который я
12 октября засылал? Или все мне настолько верят? ;)
Там есть некоторые данные, которые в моем исполнении как минимум
несколько спорны.
Давайте разберемся с этим -- пусть там и ALT будет...
...и спонсор новый найдется %(

LWN DISTRIBUTION SURVEY
version 0.32
The LWN distribution survey is a tool to gather comparable
information about Linux distributions. All provided surveys
will be made publicly available in their entirety. They
are dated, so that multiple versions of a survey for a
specific distribution can exist, providing historical
information.
______________________________________________________________________________
Survey Date:
Name of person providing information:
E-mail address:
Connection with this distribution:
(note, survey information from distribution creators/developers
will replace information from other interested parties, wherever
available.)
1. What is the name of your distribution?
ALT Linux
What is the website for your distribution?
http://altlinux.ru (in Russian),
http://alt-linux.org
2. What is the derivation of your distribution?
_ SLS
_ Slackware
_ Jurix
_ Red Hat
_ Debian
_ rolled from scratch
X other (Please name: Linux-Mandrake)
2a. If you answered anything besides "rolled from scratch", do
you still consider your distribution "tied" to its derivation,
e.g., you release updates to your distribution based on updates
from the original distribution?
(formerly yes, now no)
2b. If you answered "rolled from scratch" or other,
do you use a package management system?
If yes, which one?
RPM3 (now switching to 4) + apt-rpm
3. What languages do you support? Please list, including English,
if appropriate.
All that Mandrake 8 supported. Special emphasis
is made on correct i18n.
4. Would you classify your distribution as a "mini"-distribution?
(This is a very flexible term, covering Linux distributions
sized for a floppy or smaller, up through CD or disk-based
Linux distributions that are on the small size. It is more a
matter of perception, in terms of whether you define the
distribution partially by its small size compared to generic
distributions like Debian, Red Hat, et al.)
_ yes
X no
4a. If you answered yes to the above, please mark any of the
following that are applicable:
_ CD-based, e.g., intended to be booted from and run directly
from a CD without requiring a hard disk.
_ Disk-based, small, but intended to be run from a hard disk.
Presumably too large for a floppy.
_ Floppy-based
How many floppies for the base distribution?
How many floppies for supported add-ons?
_ Flash-disk-based
_ Other
Please explain:
5. Hardware Support. Please mark all the hardware platforms that
your distribution supports.
_ Alpha
_ ARM
_ IBM S/390
X Intel x86/Pentium
_ IA64
_ NEC Mobile Gear PDAs
_ Sparc
_ Sparc64
_ PowerPC
_ PowerPC G4
_ RS/6000
_ Microcontrollers
_ Other, please list:
5a. For what hardware platforms do you provide optimized binaries,
if any?
i586
6. Why did you decide to produce a Linux distribution?
Originally it was Linux-Mandrake Russian Edition by
IPLabs Linux Team, but not all significant changes found
their way back to Mandrake and the team went stronger.
7. What is the target audience for your distribution?
There are 3 distinct distributions really:
- generic (4CD last time: WS, server, devel, diverse
package list);
- desktop (1CD, office+games+multimedia, almost no
-devel);
- server (Castle, integrates RSBAC out-of-box,
now beta3).
Plus, apt-enabled unstable/current branch (Sisyphus).
8. Would you consider your distribution to be:
X general purpose, e.g., useful for servers, desktops, and
requiring tailoring for specific purposes.
X special purpose, e.g., specifically tailored for a single
functionality or a small group of functionalities.
(see previous -- or should I split by branches?)
8a. If you consider your distribution to be special purpose,
below are a list of possible purposes. Please check all that
apply and add any that are missing:
X Appliances, such as:
X Communications Server
X Router/Firewall
X Web Cache
X DOS/Windows support, via:
X DOS partition
X DOS/Windows install, separate boot
_ Windows Users, accessible from Windows
_ Diskless Terminal support
X Education/Schools
X Ease-of-use, for non-technical users
_ Embedded Systems
_ High-end and Cluster computing
X Non-exportable crytographic support
_ Older, slower hardware (pre-Pentium, for example)
X Optimized performance
_ Reduced memory usage
X Rescue disk
X Security
_ Targeted user market, such as:
_ ISPs
_ E-commerce sites
_ Highly Experienced, Technical users
_ Physically challenged
X other
9. Who are the primary developers for your distribution?

9a. How many developers in total are working on the distribution?
at least 21.
9b. How many of these developers are working full-time?
10 (counting people from official ALT)
10. Is there a packaged or commercial version of your distribution
for sale? if so, please gives the names and URL's of the
company or companies that provide it.
Yes, every distribution can be ordered on CDs (even
unstable snapshots) as well as downloaded; Castle and
next generic distribution (Master 1.0) are supposed to
get official support for boxed versions.
It can be ordered at http://bolero.ru Internet shop,
as well as purchased at a number of local
software/hardware stores.
Russian page on this topic is:
http://altlinux.ru/?module=buy-inet .

_ a.out
_ glibc
X glibc2
13a. Which C library is the default for your builds? (Check only one):
(Note, we have distributions on the list whose primary reason
for existing is to support older libraries -- this is meant to
be a check for such a distribution).
_ a.out (libc4)
_ glibc (libc5)
X glibc2 (libc6)
14. How large is your default installation?
Depends on free disk space and distribution. Minimal
installation is ~ 150-200M (народ, ПОПРАВЬТЕ!!!)

optional packages?
Spring 2001 offered 1591 package; current Sisyphus

Yes. For boxed Castle (server) it will be included in box
