There is only one Linux!!!

,----[ Quote ]
| When I say there is only one Linux you can imagine the groans and gasps of 
| disagreement coming from every direction. In the software universe it is true 
| there is only one Linux. This one Linux consist of volumes of source code 
| that is compiled and configured to run on different platforms, then lumped 
| together to form the various distributions. Don't blame me for the habit of 
| naming every Linux formulation. But in a way it is like conquering a mountain 
| and putting a flag on it. But you have to thank so many folk who have managed 
| to do this feat, so you don't have to do it yourself. And it still doesn't 
| take away your freedom and right to do this if you want to. The thing to 
| realize is that a distro is the beginning, if you want to change it, you can.

Linux training

,----[ Quote ]
| The thing I was particularly impressed with is the uniformity and ease of 
| service installs. Now I know that many of you are used to installing things  
| like bind and dhcp and apache and sendmail/postfix, etc., what have you, on 
| lots of other linux platforms, but there really seemed to be a uniformity to 
| all this under RedHat, and the initial configurations or supplied config 
| files seemed to be saner somehow. Most notably to me was the difference in 
| ease of install for bind or sendmail between RHEL5x and any recent Ubuntu 
| release. It could be that I had the training manual in hand, but it just 
| seemed more ready to go and easier to change the config if you had to.

Distros Don’t Drive Development

,----[ Quote ]
| Lots of press and people focus on Linux distributions when they check out 
| what happens in Linux land. This and that distro come in new releases and 
| 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.
