Hello list,
writing from Italy, where Linux users are rare and far away and Microsoft
rules (or so it seems to me; I am the same person who started the "show off
Linux ?" thread some time ago, and I must say that the situation has not
improved in the least).
I was wondering if somebody would care to share their opinions about the
following issues who have been nagging at me for some time, probably
because of my little knowledge of the big world:
- why do we have *several* different Linux distributions ?
- why do we have competent people, like RedHat and SUSE, tied up in
catching the same bugs twice instead of cooperating (agreements would be
for profit, of course) ?
- why do we have an (apparently) good bug-tracking system like Debian's
completely ignored by the above (instead of exploited, i.e. paid for) ?
I realize that the Unix community at large *likes* to reinvent wheels now
and then, but what I was wondering is whether getting some agreement on who
reinvents which wheel would help in achieving world domination.
By the way, if you feel this is too much off topic for this list I
apologize and welcome any suggestions for a more appropriate place.
