From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I mean there's quite a few Debian-based distros that solve that issue...

How is the existence of Spiral Linux out of character or step with the existing Linux space. As far as I can tell, there have been a great many Linux hammers and nails to choose from to fit the various needs and fancies of people. Additionally, there may be a bunch of solutions to my need, but Spiral is the one I know about.

True, I just don't think the concept of Spiral Linux is revolutionary.

Yes, whoever wrote the word "finally" in the title of this post was saying that.

I am not sure you understand what finally means. It is saying that what has been attempted before has been successfully done now. There is no implication of "revolutionary", but tather iteration.
