RosLims : Medical Students Linux Distro

I may respect your opinion as a "powerlinux user". But for sure, even if you are a poweruser, you present your opinion without testing the distribution you talk about. Because if you will test the distribution (the last version which was distributed togheter with the book First steps in Linux, Polirom Publishing House, 2006) you may see that Roslims was one of the first Linux distribution which implemented cmg support (klik.atekon.de), was the first distribution outside Japan that implemented MultiVNC, a very good remote teaching and monitoring environment and was tweaked to run a lot of cross platform (medical) software in a linux based synchronous learning environment.
For these reasons (and others) Roslims received 3 awards along the years from various scientific organizations. It was the first romanian live CD ever developped (2003) and, by having a special version distributed along of a linux begginer book published in a large number (2006), was a good linux advocate among the students and young people at that time.
As you may see, Roslims is discontinued now, because we have very little time to continue the development and we think also that other linux distribution can now do better (e.g. Edu Ubuntu or romanian distribution Kiwi Linux). But I hope that I convince You and the readers of this post that ROSLIMS was not yet another linux distro, "which mostly nothing more than a customization of the interface and software packages for another parent distro" as you said :(. I don't expect apologies from you, but in future when you say something about a distro, please be sure that you try it before...

Best regards,
Marius - (former) main developper of ROSLIMS
