LBA-Linux dead?


I was experimenting with LBA-Linux and had some questions. Their website www.sot.com seems to be down following a week of the forum there dissappearing. Does anyone here know of LBA's fate?

I don't think the project is dead. The company that makes that distro has been around for a while now. Possibly they could be experiencing some sort of network problem.

I hope they aren't gone. It was(is?) an interesting project. I wonder why it doesn't get more attention.

The site is up now. I used their version of OpenOffice.org a while ago and I liked their templates in impress.

BUMP

The site is still there but not working correctly, all links are dead. No response to e-mails. Unfortunatly is seems that LBA-Linux (formerly SOT-Linux) is indeed dead.

They had a nice package going there with some interesting plans for the furture, too bad. They had just released an update that inculded Firefox also.

I think you are predicting too much doom at the moment. Leave it for a while and see if they get their act together.

You were right, the project was officially announced as dead a month or so ago.
