Editorial on competition and choice

"The first step would be for Spevack (and other distribution project 
managers) to admit that Ubuntu has done something right. The second 
would be to recognise that popularity isn't "fanboyism." It's all very 
nice to say in an interview that "our distribution is the best and that 
people will eventually notice." The uneasy truth is, however, that 
people aren't choosing Fedora, Mandriva or openSUSE, they are choosing 
Ubuntu. And while it's great to see so much enthusiasm for a Linux 
distro, I feel uneasy about the growing dominance of one sole project, 
no matter how good, user-friendly or innovative it is."
