LinuxConf: Bid to bring distros together
,----[ Quote ]
| Distribution wars are common among Linux users - the assertion by those who
| use one distribution that what they use is superior to another distribution.
| The old mine-is-better-than-yours-routine. Never mind that most distributions
| feature more or less the same applications, each group of users appears to
| think that their distribution is the one that actually makes the cut.

This isn't the only Linux conference that generates buzz at the moment. The
SCALE conference already in the making, as well as aKademy (KDE) in Spain.
Funny hypothetical picture of someone at the conference:

Schism
,----[ Quote ]
| When someone says a recent Linux Distro is 100 times better than another
| recent Linux distro, I worry a little that schism has lead to computer
| religion. Taken on its face, examined rationally, you have to ask "how can
| that be?". They all feed off the same kernel stock, and pull in the same sets
| of office projects and same GUI projects and so forth.

Why Having 500+ Distros is a Good Thing
,----[ Quote ]
| Perhaps next time the author might think about what they're
| saying...because limiting the number of distros out there is
| absolutely NOT the way to go to accomplish anything other
| than limiting innovation.
