Linux? There Are Simply Too Many Versions!
,----[ Quote ]
| No, the lack of âstandardsâ for GNU/Linux is not the problem. The natural
| human resistance to change, corporate inertia and illegal (or at least
| unethical) business practices by certain large companies [1][2] are the
| problems. We cannot overcome resistance to change in people. Where we need to
| concentrate on change is with our children. Especially children locked in
| public education systems that are locked into proprietary operating systems
| [3][4]. Teach our children to use GNU/Linux and we change the future of the
| computing landscape.
|
| Too many âversionsâ of GNU/Linux? No. Too little education about GNU/Linux?
| Definitely.

| My very first Linux distribution was called Pygmy Linux, a mini-distro based
| off Slackware. It had no graphical desktop, no compiler, no office suite, no
| package management and it didn't recognize my modem. Obviously it didn't
| qualify as a replacement for my main desktop system at the time. Nor was it
| supposed to. But it did do what I wanted it to and that was to teach me the
| UNIX command line and the structure of a UNIX file system. It did those
| things very well and I learned a lot. It has been ten years since I plunged
| into the Linux depths. To celebrate ten years with Linux, I decided to give a
| mini-distro based on Slackware a test drive. Pygmy is long gone, but others
| live on. This week I installed Slax on my system and put it through its
| paces.
