Here's one of the responses on Planet Ubuntu: http://dustinkirkland.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/whats-behind-gregkhs-latest-rant/ Note the numbers. Canonical is tiny by comparison. Here's another: http://mdzlog.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/greg-kh-linux-ecosystem/ "Greg considers the “Linux ecosystem” to be GCC, binutils, the Linux kernel, X.org, and a handful of other projects. He disregards most of the desktop stack (including GNOME and KDE), all desktop and server applications, and most anything else that is recognizable to an end user as “Linux”." Most of Ubuntu's upstream work goes to the desktop's usability, and if Greg KH doesn't consider the desktop part of Linux's ecosystem, well, there you go. -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo
