Well, yeah, rules of thumb... I think you broke my thumb. I meant at an
applications level. Obviously the things that are part of the distro such
as package management and install disks don't have to be universal, or
there wouldn't be such things as different distros. Point taken though -
there are things that should be universal that are inexplicably not taken
up by others, though Corel, Storm and the one I _still_ can't remember the
name of do apt now, too.
