So people should create customized systems more :). Or at least forms of systems that are to their liking according to what likeminded people do. If every package or program ever written has a right to a namespace, that's pretty unworkable I'd say? ???.
The reality is that in the Linux world people do. Not only does the Build System let us do that, but that ability is what got us Android and a million other embedded systems. People doing that customization is why we have the bash Shell rather than the old Bourne shell, the version of Vi we have as VIM and a lot more. The old Roman poet Horace had the line If a better system is thine, impart it freely; if not, make use of mine. That is what has driven Linux. People coming up with better - for them and others - and making it available. Why use Bill Joy's original "vi" when VIM is available? Why use the original Bourne shell when BASH is available? -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
