Wesley, the linux world is awash (literally) with different linux versions.
Do we really need RYOL, or YALD (yet another linux distro) Why not put effort into making the current ones really user friendly, ready for the masses to use? I thought Gentoo and Debian fitted that RYOL niche. And indeed, since Linux is customisable, isn't every Linux distro effectively a RYOL ? Indeed, tried linux from scratch http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ or Intellibuild - build your own linux or live distro. http://ibuild.livecd.net/ Derek. =============================================== On Sat, 4 Nov 2006, Wesley Parish wrote: > I suspect Microsoft will end up losing, very very badly, and with no-one to > blame but themselves.
