They pull from the same resources but they produce different things. Just look at the KDE SIG's spin vs the desktop spin vs the Electronics Lab Spin vs the Games spin. * A user who downloads any one of these products gets a different experience than someone who downloads one of the others. * Switching from one product to another is not an easy task of merely installing one package group and removing another. You have to know what packages to install and what packages to uninstall and sometimes you also need to know what configuration switches to hit. * Each of these products has a different target audience and a different use. * The major packages that each of these products is showcasing up front is different as well. Even if a minivan and a pickup truck have the same engine, drivetrain, and transmission under the hood they're still different products. -Toshio
