552264 2007-05-24 09:09:00 I agree with all of those.
If all the people involved with all those distros listed got together and worked on producing one distro then we might get something that could take over Windows.
But then it would be a piece of crap like Windows being all things to all people rather doimg what it should be doing.

Linux is about alternative, if it becomes mainstream, then most distros will die and it will end up like Windows. One version, with security issues, and sooner or later some idiot wanting to make a dollar off it

Long live the geekiness of Linux, I hope it never ends up as one distro only

Considering the way Mac and Linux are setup, I don't see security issues coming to the front in Linux the way they do on Windows anytime soon regardless of market share.

Try to make something "idiot proof", and you'll discover that the idiots are much smarter than you are.
