this also. I happen to agree with Mikkel on this one :)
While having choices is nice, if you are going to make the
inevitable internet car analogy, if one of the companies
(Linux distros in general) only has about 1% of the total
market to begin with, would you still think it was a good
idea to fragment that into a bazillion models that can't
be supported with interchangeable parts? You aren't
talking Ford and Chevy here - it's more like DeLorian
and Tesla.
Never had heard of Delorian or Tesla. Do they have 1% of the automobile industry. I have
heard of Saturn, Hyundai, others not mentioned.

Probably not a good idea, but they did it. If you read distrowatch, some people compared
Ubuntu and Fedora along the same lines. Some swore by Ubuntu others by Fedora.
One point that they made was that Fedora did not have KFedora, GFedora, XFedora, ..., like
Ubuntu has Kubuntu, Xubuntu, ..., At least Fedora is consistent in this regard. It is
still Fedora underneath and many people appreciate that.
