Are there too many Linux distributions currently available? Can there be too many? This article explores the effect of the large number of distros out right now and suggests that progress could possibly be made through a consolidation.

Member since:Autopackage isn't a good way to do it. It's dependent on C. I mean your program must compile a part of C source in order for it to be "autopackagable". Try it with some other language. You'd need to manualy translate that C code they provide and compile into your app, if that's even possible as that HACK is really low-level kernel shit stuff.

We should spread the word about Autopackage ( http://autopackage.org/ ). You can install an Autopackage-file on every distribution !
@Phil: "2. Think up a new name, and sell it as <Name> (tm) based on GNU/Linux technology."
Ubuntu, Mandriva, SuSE, etc., they are all trying to do this, and probably they won't collaborate (Mandriva and SuSE, for them money is more important..).
