OK,
Whitebox (and CentOS, TaoLinux, etc.) are RedHat Enterprise Linux based
(compiled from SRPMS) distros. They are all trying to be as close to
RHEL as possible. That is so they can do the same things and run the
same applications as RHEL.
If someone wants to create a distro that deviates from that, fine. But,
in my opinion, it loses the real reason to build from RHEL source.
If I wanted a minimal install, I would just pick only the packages I
want to run from the Install CD. If I wanted to install blackbox (or
fluxbox, etc.), I would just do that.
But, in my opinion, providing all the functionality of RHEL in a distro
that is easy to update, maintain, and is more cost effective is what is
important.
But what do I know?
