Thanks. I've pondered White Box a bit. But I just wonder if they have
enough support and staying power to hang around. I've followed enough
dead ends in my Linux career to do me forever. Caldera anyone? And I
don't know about their track record for getting security updates out.
If you have any data to answer these worries, I'd like to hear it.
