So its like a population of people

On: Toward a New Kind of Linux Distribution

If all humans are the exact same, a virus that kills one human, will then kill all humans.

But by having MANY different genome sets, we resist total annihilation by having some people resistant to different things.

Likewise, if linux worked this way, we'd be safer from virii, hacks and other attacks.

Distro for Users or for Publishers?

Interesting. I'd always felt that this is how Linux really works the best., rather than being a giant 1 gig hunk of software, I can pick and choose the parts I want to play with. This leads to lots of mistakes early on, but over time, you learn how to optimize and reevaluate what you need and where, with the end result of understanding your system that much better. So my question is: Was this a suggestion for Linux in general, or a suggestion for a new type of business model?
