If everything uses the same binaries, then there's only really one instance. I regard the distro constructor as poorly named; what it's really doing is constructing custom install images, rather than independent distros. That may be a good thing, but it may not be everybody's view of the world. A reference is only interesting if there's something else to compare it to. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
