Blech. I (and most of us I believe) aren't looking to just be better than NT, why be so AMAZINGLY short-sighted? We're looking to be the best we CAN be, which is alot more than just better than NT. Not all of us are just microsoft haters. Also, this hardly seems a distribution issue, but more a library/kernel issue. There are only two libraries in general to be concerned about, libc5 and glibc2. There are two kernels to be concerned about, 2.0.x and 2.2.x (I realize there are obviously subtle differences in each release, but those generally don't affect what the world sees). This doesn't seem all that bad as I suspect in the future libc5 will phase out (Assuming glibc2 becomes more stable and such), as will 2.0.x, as 2.2.x becomes more stable and accepted. This may take 6-12 months, or maybe even a year or two, but it'll happen.
