Ek-Hou-Van-BraaiI've seen some people point to LiMux as a failure because they switched back to MS, but where LiMux failed GendBuntu (a version of Ubuntu adapted for use by France's National Gendarmerie) runs on over 100,000 stations and is going strong.
is this the beginning of an article and a link is missing?

No link, GendBuntu hasn't been in the media a lot, I hope that changes.
There is a detailed wiki article if you'd like to see its history

LiMux failed because Torvalds didn't bribed the Mayor and the ruling Conservatives, like M$/Gates and Balmer personally did.
i wonder why big operating systems like Debian-derivatives are used instead of smaller ones like TinyCore linux. smaller codebase ought to be simpler to maintain completely?
They are more commonly used and thus have a large community and documentation and packages also from commercial vendors.
A big part of LiMux failing was the UI. It was simply ugly and complicated. People simply did not want to work with it.
UX is everything
