[News] Why GNU/Linux Distributions Are Overcounted

Xubuntu + BeOS like theme + Remastersys = PC/OS?

,----[ Quote ]
| Now, what is it really: PC/OS is a straight-forward Xubuntu with a BeOS-like 
| slapped on it, some minor customizations to the panels and the builder used 
| Remastersys to make a distributable copy of his own desktop.

There are very few original GNU/Linux distributions and they share the same
building blocks. Decisions are not hard to make and changing between distros
is a matter of minutes/hours. I personally change distros (happily) all the
time _because it's fun_.

Distros Don’t Drive Development

| Lots of press and people focus on Linux distributions when they check out

| they offer this and that brand new feature. This is also true of the many 
| linux podcasts. They give credit to distros for new things that pop up.
