Whither UserLinux?

Whither UserLinux?

Parent article: Whither UserLinux?

I'm not a pundit or a market analyst, but having been someone who was initially interested by UserLinux, I think it is dead. Debian is pulling up its socks after the almost infinite delay on Sarge. Ubuntu is offering a good distro. There is no longer a need for UserLinux. It was a good idea, but its time is past.

The quote attributed to Mr. Perens leaves me pretty disappointed. I had always had a good impression of him, but the recent OSI stuff and this definitely places my evaluation of Mr. Perens in doubt.
