> Hence, I conclude: "One distribution to bind them all!" One distribution to cater to every need might turn out to be a mega monolith -- just as the proprietary group tend to do: even if you want only two tasks to be done, they are bundled with 200 other things. this leads to increase in cost, up/run time, etc.
of course, one mega repository of the distribution with structured interfaces can go a great way. the issues there will be how to comfortably download, customise and bundle packages for the specific user group. an average user cannot do this, and this might be an opportunity for intermediate/expert FOSS members to offers their services. such intermediaries can take it from the global repositories! srinivasan. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
