Imagine for a moment that the core system, freely available to anyone, as I pointed out in the first article in this series, and the proprietary distros opened up, and used the community's core. To a small home-town white box builder or enthusiast who doesn't have the resources to provide 24-hour customer support, remote automatic security, application updates, or comprehensive full-service warehousing of third-party commercial software application the resource would prove invaluable. Similarly, this core system might also offer content services such as LinTunes, LycPicks or XanPhony music download services. This is really only the beginning. The sky is the limit.
