In my opinion only, Turbolinux's package management was poorer, it did
not offer upgrades as quickly as Vine linux, the community is smaller
AFAIK, and I think the company even went belly up or something. I
don't know the status of TL now, but I would not consider it based on
past experience. I don't feel like doing a head-to-head comparison at
this point, maybe someone else has more up to date information...
