*shrug* It's a free world. Let people do what they want. We're not  
paying them to do it, they do it for their own reasons. These reasons  
are varied and sometimes incompatible.

Shouldn't one be more welcoming of a newcomer to the community,  
rather than harshly criticizing it? FOSS is more organic than planned  
after all. If they die off like many others before them, such is the  
way of life. Like biology, those with a competitive advantage survive  
and those without will die. One should not discourage new attempts as  
one can never tell where the next competitive advantage/feature will  
come from.

That said, I am curious to know how Embun Linux positions itself  
against other distributions.
