Use multiple distributions at the same time with Bedrock Linux
|
Advantages and Disadvantages
The only real disadvantage apparent on first sight of Bedrock is the very large space requirements once you start using a couple of additional distributions. Whether this actually is a disadvantage for you is something you must decide yourself. Would you install the distributions anyway on physical real hardware or in a virtual environment? If so, you can save space with Bedrock. Additionally, disk space is inexpensive today; even large SSDs have moved into affordable price regions over the past few years.
For Bedrock to be fun, you need to learn all you can about the underlying concepts by reading the documentation. If this is not something you enjoy doing, you will probably not enjoy the Bedrock experience. And, if you have questions, the active and friendly IRC channel can also provide helpful answers. You can reach this on the Freenode network under #bedrock .
The developers meet there daily under the paradigm pseudonym. If you write a personal message, you might experience a delay due to the time difference between Europe and the United States, but you will receive a reply. If you do not have an IRC client, please visit the website for a direct link to the web chat below External Links .
