I understand. :) Just, from some of the responses I got, it sounded like my reasoning for being here, wasn't valid.

If it's not though, then I'm not. ;) Need official clarification! > (Perhaps I'm being needlessly shortsighted in ignoring the > other distributions.

I'm the same, I'm very glad they exist, and I want them *all* to succeed. I just want to make sure I'm putting my efforts where they belong. If OSOL is what becomes SX is what becomes Solaris, then cool! Otherwise, I shouldn't be here, I should be picking a distro I like and contributing to the overall direction for it. That's what I'm good at, and that's what I can contribute. Not code, or direction in technical aspects. That's why I need clarification on this issue, to make sure my efforts are well places.
