Agree. Roles have reversed. This feels a lot like the tail wagging the dog. How many Solaris installs are there compared to Linux installs. It seems pretty unilateral by RH without public comment from the folks at Debian, Arch, SuSE, and Slackware among others. I'd also like to see Linus' opinion. More than 90% of supercomputers run Linux. http://i.top500.org/stats Actually, a supercomputer is probably simpler from an OS view than a desktop. It doesn't need to know about multimedia, X, Gnome, KDE, and a lot of other UI things. In any case, I don't see them changing very quickly. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
