If Linux is ever going to compete with MAC/Windows on a commercial level why not have a hybrid GNOME/KDE/SOLARIS (UNIX) distro, and essentially take the best qualities of each?
Why does Linux need to compete? That way lies stupidity like OpenOffice copying the worst features of Microsoft Word's user interface. If you are a Linux distributor that decides you do want to compete with Microsoft then why would you involve Sun? Sun and Novell both had ample opportunity to compete with Microsoft and fluffed it. What can they contribute? And will that contribution bring with it the seeds of failure of their previous attempts? In practice the opposite to your question is happening. Solaris is taking the best of the FOSS software in order to remain competitive. In a supreme irony, so is SCO. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
