Look and feel mixed bag of apps. This is linux you have freedom some times to much. Over time programs and merging and working together but if they were not put together this would not happen.
Basicly Distros are grab bags so that you can setup systems to do anything or only to do one task ie some of the linux firewall distros don't even include X windows. This is just linux there are many point of views it is the best live the worst die. Remember Saig the Office suit kind crushed out of existance by Open Office. So a soild look and feel might never happen. You have Gnome and KDE users(yep one runs one and one runs the other start a fight between them you have just got no left ears) Basicly linux is not one and might never be. But what happens when linux has every program you could ever need one set of disks to install it all. Now this is the distro goal. Basicly windows Xp plus microsoft Office plus photoshop plus<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.... This is the Goal. The question when will we achive it.
