Latest revision as of 04:23, 15 January 2008

The purpose of this page is to compare existing configuration solutions. This would help to see if we can merge existing solutions into just one, thus avoiding duplication of effort. At the moment we are only going to compare `ace', `ecf' and `xace'.

In the table below, we have 4 possible answers:

  • Yes: Feature is present
  • No: Feature was deliberately not supported
  • N/A: Unlike No it is not present but not deliberately
  • DNK: Do Not Know, that is to say if you know the answer, feel free to update the DNK entry.

Feel free to update this page if you feel there is a missing feature, that we have an accurate comparisons.
