Yes, MS has shown us how de-facto standards work. However,
personally, I trust red hat enough to be content to live with the
staandards that exist in the Linux world, and have users that share
my sense of community.
I am not against increasing ehad count. There are, however,
things that are higher on my list. Like ease of use (not merely ease
of install). UNIX 98 conformace. Gettin DCE to run well on Linux
(which has been taking a lot of my time).
