Just what the world needs, more different versions of Linux. It is so neat to see that people can avoid working together and instead put their efforts into many many different versions of Linux, each with their own ego and their own ways of doing things. So what if the average user gets more and more confused and can never figure out what is going on. Linux is not intended for the average user, it is intended for the Linux high priests, who can belittle the average user for finding things so confusing.
