Drose: >the problem with choice is that there is a great deal of research required >examining things to figure out what's needed. Too much choice is a BIG Linux annoyance. Too much choice is as bad as no choice. I remember the first time I went to NY (I come from Spain) I was blocked at a cheap restaurant by the hundred options they gave me for a simple sandwich or a coffee. Sometimes more is less. Linux is a good example. I can't figure out how a decentralised open-source project can ever lead to less choices and a better selection. Maybe "natural selection" is the solution, but evolution takes time... :-) Pablo
