Well, Belenix stared with the claim that it will deliver what Schillix does not.
At that time, Schillix did already deliver what Belenix claimed to bo but
Belenix did not. This looks a bit unfair....
Fair? It's all about personal motives, personality and critical mass.
Fairness wise, Linux shouldn't have taken off because there were a
number of fully functional open source operating systems already
available. Now they play second fiddle.
