That sounds like smart advice to me! > That is one of the reasons I dont like Linux, the distros are different. If > you know SuSE then you dont necessarily know Ubuntu. There is no reference > Linux. While that is true, it is an inaccurate way of looking at the problem. While the desktop interface of any given distro could look and act like anything, reality is much more simple. In reality, what the user sees and uses is either KDE or Gnome. (to round xfce and friends out of the picture) The spin different distros put on their choice still leaves said choice very close to the default configuration. So its not really that every linux distro is different, its that Gnome and KDE are different, and every distro uses one or the other. Which, because there are only two options, means that some of the distros are the same, and the rest are also the same. And the same will happen to OpenSolaris with Gnome and KDE distros of it.
