    Let's not confuse the OS and the distribution. The OS is the kernel, with or
    without patches. The rest is utils and applications. The install and
    configuration tools is what makes the distribution. Themes in the graph
    environment is not!

    And that's the beauty of Linux. You can build it any way you want. If you're
    not happy with a distro, just take another one or, even better, build your
    own. Freedom of choice is what its all about.

    And calling Redhat and Sco in one sentence (Oops, i'm doing it also) I think
    is not fair. Redhat has contributed many tools, scripts and kernelsources to
    the Open Source community where even your "Precious" SuSE benefits from.

    I've used Redhat from the "Halloween" version up to 5.1 as a development
    platform and is was always good installable, hardware friendly even on
    Toshiba and very stable. After that I switched to SuSE 6.1 and stayed there
    for my work. Many hardware support was established by Redhat.

    So please, please please relax a little and call any os "shitty" if you like
    but don't confuse it with a distribution.

    Regards,

    Peter
