Is that a good or a bad thing?

 Do'h!, I meant we would NOT have 1,000 distros!  The fragementations
into different distros, different methods of packaging, different ways
of storing and configuring is overall, a hindrance.  Its a fake
"choice", because for the vast majority of people, who cares?
 If there was only RPM, no Deb, would that matter?

   Too MUCH 'choice' CAN be as bad as too LITTLE choice.
   CURRENTLY - I think the Linux universe has become just
   TOO diverse. More standardization would be a longer
   term advantage.
   Yea yea, everybody THINKS they have the Better Way,
   but too often it's merely "different", no real
   long-term advantage at all.
   I like to play with Linux/BSD distros. Have seen
   more and more 'diversity', but NOT 'improvement'.
