Congratulations to everyone involved!  This is excellent news.  Both
projects have worked very hard to create an extremely friendly
environment for users.

Browsing through the BeroLinux "future plans" pages, I noticed that
Bernhard has plans to move to an X-based installation routine.  Is this
still being considered for a future release?  It's quite possibly the #1
thing I would love to see in a distribution.  Caldera did it on one of
their Preview releases from the original Caldera Network Desktop
distribution, but dumped it by the time it got to final release.  I'd
LOVE to see it happen.

Another thing I'd love to see is a distribution which is REALLY
Filesystem Standard compliant.  The spec has been out for over two years
now, but I've YET to see a distribution that actually follows it.  Any
plans? or will BeroManLinux (hmm... superhero pictures jump into mind at
that!) continue to add extra items to Red Hat?
