OSForge interviews Thomas Chung, the founder and developer of the LinuxInstall.org distribution: "It's been said before and I'm going to say it again. I believe all the fine distributions out there have their own specific purpose. Some are great for server. Some are great for desktop and some are great for embedded environment. My distribution is designed to install fast and efficiently so it can be installed hundreds or even thousands of computers at once. It would be ideal to use it on your school labs or company labs. Of course, it's great for newbie who never install Linux before. I believe my distro will serve its purpose and serve well." The complete interview.
