*------------------------------
In the beginning...
there was Linus, and He was Good.
The rootdisk/bootdisk combination was created, and IT was Good.
Then came Peter and the shared libraries.
Then came SLS.
Then came H.J. Lu and GCC.
These, too, were Good.
==============================*
...something like that!
Anyway, there seems to be a substantial amount of time dedicated
to Linux on the Internet by Linus, Peter, and H.J. Lu, as well as
COUNTLESS others. Question, though. Is there any way to tell at
this point which Linux distributions will survive into the future?
We have: 1) bootdisk/rootdisk
2) GCC
3) SLS
4) MCC
Which distributions are for developers only? Which are for test?
Which will die because their author gets a/another job?
Which will survive a few years, and be supported by their author
or protege(s)!?
I personally could survive for a couple years with the GCC
distribution plus a few packages I already have. But any feedback
on this would be MOST enlightening!
