New! The By Request page
written December 10, 2020 by Time Traveler
Category: BlogEntry Tags: New; Requests; #30
We often get requests for some of the less popular distros, and have to decide if adding a distro makes sense. It does take employee time and there are costs involved to create the web page, download/test/archive the ISO file(s), so if only a small number of customers will ever order a distro, it all may be a less than profitable prospect. Additionally, to keep up-to-date with a distro, also takes time - if there is no revenue generated and there is no interest, then updating/maintaining a distro makes no sense.
However, when you get to the root of it, LinuxCollections.com is a service company, and this is a service some customers would like. So we looked at how we could streamline the process. Downloading and adding a distro to our database is fairly straightforward, but creating the web page, grabbing screen shots, documenting details of the distro, etc. can be time consuming. So we have created a "By Request" page - see the LinuxCollections.com By Request page.
By creating a "catch-all" page that lists requested distros, we can simply do the minimal amount - download the distro, get it in the catalog, and let our customers do their stuff. If there is sufficient demand, we can upgrade a distro to have its own page. So we have created the page, and we shall see how it goes.
