United Linux: why MandrakeSoft will not join

[Matthew Carpenter]

Does anyone have a shovel?  These guys could use some help getting out...
getting their head out of the sand is going to be the most difficult part
of the rescue.  What threshold would they like crossed before admitting
that there is some "splintering"?  Ok.  So the "splintering" doesn't look
the same as it did for Unix, but the fact that you have to recompile for
each distro does spell SOME disaster... Oh, I forgot.  They don't DO their
own work, but build off of Red Hat.  Ooops.  I guess that's ONE way to
keep compatible.  Perhaps the other four should jump on the RH-base
bandwagon and give up this foolish shenanagan of making their own
distro-base.  Then again, maybe we don't WANT Linux to be in one basket...
