Interesting, but not sure exactly how this will come about. The distributions are vastly different, miles apart in some aspects. Not sure if they plan to cherry pick or what. Plus I don't like how its worded formerly known, given each distro will remain. It some what makes me recall United Linux. Great idea, but making it happen, another story :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Linux BTW, some little fun information. I have met the author of that article, Robin Johnson a few times at LWE when manning the Gentoo both. Which I will never forget I think in 07 San Francisco had a hot streak. I think it might have been 80 degrees, if thats hot by Florida standards. Robin being a Canadian from Vancouver, vowed to never return if the temperature was that high again. Which I joked with him about the temperature in Florida. A place he will likely never visit due to the warm climate :) Aside from that, a great guy, and skilled systems administrator. He is responsible for a good deal of Gentoo Infrastructure, and I believe is infra team lead now. -- William L.
