I hope they pick a distro and dont do the roll your own distro like others have. What was it Munich ? That tried to roll their own and fell so far out of date they could not patch it safe.

AFAIK Munich was SUSE based with a few additions here and there. Was a while ago though I don’t quite remember.

I’m pretty sure they were Ubuntu 12 based.

Apparently both wrong:

Debian based

Not sure where I got SUSE from :thinking:

Probably from the Lunduke-poisening.

It would make sense for them to go with openSuse, because it’s a german distro, there is a choice between rolling release and LTS, and they offer commercial support.

Yeah probably the reason I thought it was… don’t understand why they went with their own distro instead of getting something with actual support.
