GNU/Linux distro for women? Why not?
,----[ Quote ]
| Let's face it: As Tim Berners-Lee pointed out recently, the male geek culture
| can be an intimidating place. Hell, it still intimidates me sometimes, since,
| although I'm male, my degree was in English and communications rather than
| computer science. You only have to browse the archives of a mailing list for
| LinuxChix or any other woman's group to encounter horror stories.
| Experienced, qualified women finding their opinions ignored, women unable to
| attend a professional gathering without being hit upon, misogynistic slurs --
| the list goes on and on (and you'll probably see some examples of such things
| in the comments about this story).

Linux distro for women? Thanks, but no thanks

| The idea is floating around again: Let's make a special Linux distribution
| for women! We're smarter than that, aren't we? I say, let's spare ourselves
| and the world yet another pointless and less-than-useful version of Linux.

Why Having 500+ Distros is a Good Thing

| Perhaps next time the author might think about what they're

| absolutely NOT the way to go to accomplish anything other
| than limiting innovation.
