I think Turbolinux hasn't said that there will only be one distribution in the future. It's imho not a choice between either use apt-get or rpm.
But what they'll do is placing software in the same directory's, using the same software (just like every distro uses the same kernel),...
Of course people won't start migrating it all into one distribution, but the general layout will be more easy to see.
In this way you don't change distribution just for the location of httpd.conf or whatever program... You'll change distribution for it being up-to-date, for the extra software you get with it, for the ease of installation, for...
Generally I think it's a good idea to have competition between distributions, but let them not have it in supported drivers, different names,... Let them have it because they ARE better, not just look or feel better.
Hi, I didn't had the chance to read all comments so I hope I don't react with the same things people said before. If so, I'm sorry. I'm setting up a e-shop also at the moment and I can advise you two things: Use a sql server you know. I read something about people telling you mySql ain't that good. I prefer Oracle but have noticed that if you know how to handle mySql that it is as good as Oracle or sybase or PostgresSql. Use your knowledge, don't use something you think is better if you don't know how to handle it. And ofcoz, try not to use access. For the webpages I use ColdFusion (Allaire, www.coldfusion.com) running on a solaris machine with Apache. ColdFusion is very good for 'programming' e-commerce pages. If you want more info: check allaire site, they have a pretty large amount of information about e-commerce online. I think the coldfusion 4.5 runs on linux also. Pepijn Pepijn@kangaroot.net www.kangaroot.net will go 'live' soon now.
