I was thinking something along the lines of: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/distros.php and http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Notice that in the first link there's little distinction amongst the distributions except for what's in their description. The list is even rotated (ostensibly to promote "fairness"). Yes, Eclipse ain't an OS, but to my mind, it at least approaches the complexity of distribution we're talking about. And FWIW, Eclipse is not my IDE/platform of choice. :) > -- > Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst > [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ > > "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not > tried it.
