Hi,

I'm new at whitebox (though i'm a Linux systems administrator for about
7 years) and also new in this list.

I disagree with with our fellow complains abouy whiteboxe's (lack of)
quality.
I think it's a great distro and my company is *strategically* moving all
its servers and its clients servers for whitebox, at my advice.
(i put an end of 6/7 years using only SuSE).

About the other issue, of course as a CTO of my company, it worries me
that whitebox is a one man show. Someday, he may wake in a bad mood or
get an excelent job and put an end to whitebox.
And if that day comes i'll be in troubles in my job :)

Well, since i'm new both in whitebox and in this mailing list, i won't
speculate no more abot these issues.

Just want to send a big thank you to the person responsable for whitebox
(sorry, but i don't know his name) for the great job he did so far.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
