Yes, I'm aware of the app container thing. I'm not a huge fan of it for distro use, but it certainly seems like a useful approach for third-party distributors. Are you working together with any other distributions and/or desktops on it, though? Otherwise it'll wind up just another competitor in an unavoidably fragmented 'market', which I strongly suspect will have its lunch eaten by Steam. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
