Nice example and good to see. I'm aware of cross-distribution cooperation as I routinely read this list, some others, and various Linux news sites, but not before this "joke" has the potential for cross-distribution cooperation been so visible and front facing, even as a joke. That's my point, this will raise real expectations to even those only casually familiar with Linux distributions that such close cooperation exists. Up to now one had to be close to the development or very involved in one's chosen distribution to know this. Otherwise the distributions appeared to be their own islands of development leading to the constant harrange of "fragmentation" even though the various distributions tend to mostly differ in tweaks and themes. Now cross-distribution cooperation faces the public. I've noticed that today's jokes tend to be tomorrow's reality. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
