This is all great news. Things are really looking up in the free software 
world. Having several choices is good, I guess, but I can't help but wonder 
if everyone would work on different parts of the same project things would 
go faster, instead of everyone re-creating the wheel. On the other hand, if 
everyone who is working on a free unix, or unix like os worked together 
amybe it would be slower, decideing how it should be done, etc.
    Ignore this post. I am just thinking outloud.
