Dear Quiliro,

diversity don't means separate instances. We can bring together our 
different ideas and experience for that, what we need.

To create a free linux-desktop distribution in system and application, 
the core effort are in general the hardware drivers. And this is depend 
on an technical environment for reverse engineering. This create a high 
level of conditions.

But to use the hardware abstraction level, we can cooperate over all 
regions, because we operate only in the software space. We can track all 
steps inside in the target system.

One of the most terrible situation over all linux distributions is the 
configuration management. This makes the people the greatest problems.

Others are the window-manager, Grafic User Interface and Network Stack.

Of course, people in different regions think it is important to have a 
local distribution like Canaima or Nova. But is that a way of 
rationality? For me, it is only an image.

We should separate our working time to different technical efforts and 
spaces and not repeat that, what exist. But in reality, the people only 
use different components and put it together and call it "distribution".

many greetings, willi
