This statement constantly confuses me. Every release we are told we
are too different from other GNU/Linux systems. That drives changes
which are supposed to make us more compatible, and yet at the next
release we are again where we started from. And yet every time people
try to find out what these differences are, the ones which seem to
cause the most 'this is a complete incompatibility!!!' are shed paint
colour differences versus anything substantial.
