Besides, look at the CD vs. tons of DVD "standards" issue.
Having lots of opportunities in DVD burning world can make you perfectly
incompatible with your friends.
That's why CD still works.
And Kjetil - you're a perfect minority and actually being ignorant to
those who are the exact opposite. Freedom will stay on linux. It's
because it's open source.

Ouch, never be sarcastic/ironic on e-mail. I completely agree with
you. I though that was clear by my "Oh..." comment which you had
cut away. The point was: _i_ actually want to customize everything
via scheme-scripts (that is true), which Tim Hockin made (some kind of)
a joke about. And by saying that I tried to express that what Tim Hockin
perhaps means is ridiculous, does perfectly makes sense for
other. We need to have choises/alternatives/anarchy/etc. because
we are all different, etc.
Tim Hockin:
What exactly do you mean by Linux "needing" something ?
And how are you going to impose that single GUI environment ?
Will you take me to court when I write a new window manager. or
a widget that doesn't have your 'imprimatur' ?
If you want your freedom to program limited, please goto
Windoze or MAC. But please do no impose your limitations on
others.
I know Linux people love to claim how choice is our strength, but I think
it's bunk. Linux needs a single GUI environment that has a lot of deep
flexibility
Yes! I completely agree with this.
