I'm not positive we would like to see drivers for every hardware crap that ever popped up in the dreaded PeeCee world, for example. If we could cover just 10 % of the hardware with excellent drivers, and another 10 or 20 % with drivers being under development, i think we'd get very much. No, we don't wanna become ``a better Linux''. This way has already proven to be a dead-end street. There are both systems, both have pros and cons, and i think both somehow got a driving force by their mutual de-facto competition. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
