Nuxified.org Reloaded: Blurring the lines between Operating Systems

,----[ Quote ]
| The goal is not to take over the world with GNU/Linux. It is to take over the 
| world with Free Software, no matter which OS is its flag bearer. At the 
| moment it just happens to be GNU/Linux. We're not in for a yet another 
| monopoly.

Competition Is Actually Good

,----[ Quote ]
| As a matter of fact the anti-competition is the product of the lack of due 
| competition. When there are only three vendors, two of them will easily beat 
| the third one when cheating, but when there are dozens of competitors, they 
| would either fail to deal on cheating rules or get uncovered and killed by 
| the authorities, other vendors, members of the distributions chain or market 
| as whole. There could be no competition on the multi-player market, such as 
| tea market or meat market or screws market.

Why Having 500+ Distros is a Good Thing

| 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.
