Let a Thousand Linuxes Blossom Torvalds blesses distributions on everything from supercomputers to fridges. pcworld.com:80/pcwtoday/article/0,1510,15094,00.html "We don't want to avoid fragmentation per se," he said, explaining that Linux is strengthened by various vendors and projects targeting a wide variety of uses. Torvalds illustrated his point with two kinds of cool big iron: supercomputers and refrigerators. "Both are big boxes, and both can run Linux," he said. (He mentioned a "concept fridge" he saw in Japan that featured a Linux-based Web browser in the door.) Linus is straight from central casting. You couldn't do any better. Cheers Linus. Best regards.
