Only gentoo would be really self-seeking and result into a quite a little user base. But when it comes to the "only" point, I'd be happy with GNU/Linux and/or ELF systems only. I don't wanna blame systems like AIX to use .a instead of .so as shared object extensions (iirc), but GNU/Linux is what most desktop end-users (/gamers) are using below the roof of UNIX, so better stick with this one. Thanks you, Christian Parpart.
