(I know this is a waste of time and energy, but I feel like venting just 
a wee bit!  :-)

It seems to me, as a not-so-impartial observer, that if Linux is ever 
going to really compete against Windows, that the present state of 
differences between different versions of Linux is A Very Bad Thing! 

I have just spent all day trying different versions of Linux to see 
which would run on my surplus laptop.  I finally got one to run after 
trying several different distros,  which is neither here nor  there, but 
surely no one goes around trying to find different versions of Windows?? 

I have all the praise in the world for the different folks trying 
different strokes, but if we cannot have one version of Linux that is 
The Standard, then we are never going to convince the masses to 
convert.  (Which they should).  And yes, to answer your question, I feel 
better now.
