Re:Why isn't there a Linux distro out there that is made for... by SwellJoe on Wednesday September 17, 2008 @10:38AM (#307038)

Their "conary" package management system (developed by at least one of the same folks that were involved in RPM, presumably with a reasonable amount of confidence that RPM didn't really get it right) is designed for the construction of specific purpose distributions. It, obviously, hasn't taken the world by storm, so they seem to have evolved in a different direction of late, and also changed their name I'm pretty sure--though I can't remember what they used to be called (I could only remember the name "conary"). Anyway, technologically speaking conary is awe-inspiring. But, I'm not using it...so obviously, it's not providing value that I can figure out a use for.
