Re:Why Not?

You missed the point. It's not about why build another distro. If you read my original post you'd know that I'm all for building as many different distros as possible. It's more about why build a distro that is not going to give anything that isn't already out there and claim it's for the good of Linux. UL, as designed, provides nothing over many currentlly available distros. Especially for businesses. If Bruce wants to build his one distro for fun that's great. But if he's going to build a distro for businesses then he needs to address the needs of those businesses. How would a company choose UL to be released at some undefined time with questionable thrid party vendor support when they can have RHEL or SUSE or the plethora of other ones that exist today?
