the important thing (i think) is choice. people must have options in choosing what OS will suite their needs. the idea of having-an-OS-that-will rule-all-OSes does not make any sense at all. so, the "better-looking" linux that Shuttleworth is talking about is not intended to replace Mac OS X but it is intended to be just another option - at least that's how I understand what he's trying to say at OSCON. -- There are seven words in this sentence. _________________________________________________ Kagay-Anon Linux Users' Group (KLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/klug) Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
