Comments on: What if there was just 1

I think this question is phrased wrong, given what Linux is. “Should” implies a decision. Linux isn’t one thing that one person is in charge of. Thus, nobody can make the decision of whether to have one or multiple of these things. The question is not “should it happen”, but “will it happen”.

To me, the decision involved was to make things free and open, and that allows for power for people to choose. That’s all that matters to me. If everybody likes Gnome, it will follow that there will be only Gnome. If people like Gnome and KDE, it will follow that there will be Gnome and KDE.

Hi.

Just curious. Can somebody point me in the direction of the Linux Desktop standards ? I am looking for usability (where buttons go etc..) and functionality (how to setup email sending) standards ?

Thx.

Nope, as it stands, I still am not for the unification. If you think about it, making everything “Ubuntu” with this or that, is really just making 1

Richard,

Does this mean you changed your stance on unifying the Ubuntu brand?

Mr Troll, that outline you mentioned…have you posted that somewhere? Including what the required components are in your view? I for one would be very interested in reading it.
