359 Choices

| I would also strongly dispute the notion that IT managers would be daunted by

| likely contact the larger commercially oriented distribution companies. So
| again, tossing out the Big! Scary! 359! Distros! number is really just
| that--a scare tactic.

| * Open Source is fully democratic. Please take time to understand
| how consensus is built in the open source communities, especiall
| in the kernel group.
