Something like an OS contains a great deal of very complex code and having only a few programers able to review the code is bound to produce inferior products. With the Open Source/Free Software model the number of reviewers is potentially unlimited (and does work that way in practice) and the best people usually like to work for kudos. It's like any other scientific method. If it is not open to peer review the results invariably are subject to problems. > 2) Can I try your distro? If you want. It's Definite Linux and is available through all the usual channels (ftp.definitelinux.com, Linux Emporium, PC World, etc) Jason Clifford
