I agree that there might not be a full-scale open source e-commerce solution, I don't think that it is due to problems with customization. Software like Broadvision is extremely customizable and doesn't pose the sort of limitations I _think_ you are refering to.
I think the best feature of these packages is the ability to link individual users to individual content (one-to-one, in BV's terms). Slashdot, for example, seems to use perl scripts to accomplish this ("seems", "i think", "might", etc..). An open source toolkit using free db's and webservers, similar to a couple of the projects mentioned earlier, could very well be a successful open source project.
I think I may, I think I might, get back to work and sleep tonight,
Where do you get this version of twitch, I mean winCE? Could an average joe compile something for it? Does anybody know what this would entail? It would make a nice little generic network device: cheap, easily configured with the change of a cd...

I say tomato, you say tomato (you know what I mean) I'm think I'm done being a linux fanatic and I'll go back to being a linux enthusiast. Yeah, SCO is spreading some falsehood.... but so what? I don't care if SCO exists or not. Its not like linux becomes less valid or less available if some IT manager buys a license for SCO. I use linux 'cause it makes me happy. Someday I hope to further my happyness by contributing to linux or linux software. I'm not saying that somebody shouldn't stand up and say, "Hmmm, they're lying". But using the word "fight"? BTW: I'm a big hypocrite, in the way I frequently scream "friggen' NT!!!! linux is so much easier!!!!" at work. Obviously, NT doesn't make me happy.
In addition, many *nix users are hobbyists, not admins. I use linux at home because I get to play with more software and there is an active, friendly, helpful and cooperative user base. If I were trying to set up secure server that handled heavy traffic, sure I'd use BSD. Its proven! You just can't beat that! Its A-O-K! Linux is still great!
There isn't a single path to success, innovation, and improvement.
Jeez, I'd kill for either one right now, as I'm stuck on NT at work...

Yes! Thank for saying it.
