Mmmhhh... I see... that's interesting and I don't think it's bad... I think
it makes the muLinux possibilities as well as the field of people
interested in muLinux to grow more and more...

Well... when I said "normal" I meant kind of standard. I know muLinux
doesn't have much of standard (at least as I understand that) which is what
makes me being so interested on it. (I have to say I'm a very minimalist
kind of person, interested in embedded stuff as well as in small
distributions - see my links page at http://www.ugr.es/~ama/compro/)

hahaha... I didn't think about it XD

Si, Michele, I fully agree with you. I find the idea really good but,
supposing I want to add just mutt and samba server to my muLinux box...
will I have to install all binaries in both WKS & SRV add-ons? That's my
concern about "growing to much"... I refer more to a system already
installed rather than to the actual distribution media (floppies, CD, or
whatever). And that's what I though could be solve by using a package
manager system, you know.

I defined myself as a minimalist... perhaps maniac would be better XD

And still I get really amazed when I come to check out all that's in there.
It really impressed me again and again. Thanks a lot, Michele, for making
possible such a great thing as muLinux is.
Ci vediamo!
