I see no point in all Linux OSs trying to be /that/, let Ubuntu fill that role, and Fedora fill its own. Nor is their any point in all Linuxes being the same as each other. I use Linux, and Fedora Linux, because I don't want to use Windows. I don't want anything that's like it, in behaviour, nor looks. People seem to harp on about success by being the leader of the bunch, and only that measure. Whereas being successful is really being able to carry on doing what you want to. If Fedora can be Fedora, and people want to use it, then it's succeeded. It's not a commercial product, don't judge it by commercial measures. > Candidly, I'm expecting zorin (http://zorin-os.com/) to become a > significant part of the Linux world once Microsoft finally drives a > stake through XP's heart because it's a fork of Ubuntu designed to > have a UI that looks as much like XP as possible, so that people can > pretend they're still using Windows. With a name like that, I half expect it to be foisted upon as by Christopher Walken (shudder)... Google "Max Zorin," if you don't know your super evil James Bond villians. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
