For a number of years, White Box Linux [1][2] was supported by somebody from the Beauregard Parish Library in Louisiana. He was a very interesting guy who I met at ALA Annual in Chicago in 1999 or 2000. The project had a healthy run but was effectively replaced by the larger community effort of CentOS. I don't recall that it had anything particular to libraries in its design, rather I'm pointing it out just because it was developed by a library staff person (as you asked) and it struck a certain chord in the broader community at the time. I know I got a few good years of use out of it on several servers before switching to CentOS. -Dan [1] http://www.beau.org/~jmorris/linux/whitebox/ [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Box_Enterprise_Linux On 18 Oct 2014, at 20:08, Cornel Darden Jr. wrote: > Hello, > > Every now and then I consider switching my main operating system.
