I wasn't saying Canonical (I draw everyones attention to the Canon part by the 
way :P) needs to be worried I was thinking more in terms of new users and the 
potential for confusion theres been a huge bust up on the SuSE Linux mailing 
list about 'Newbies' (I still hate that word) which has meant a netiquette 
protocol has been produced. Some of the comments have been very condescending 
to say the least so that got me to thinking about Linux as a whole it just  
so happened Seb's blog about Christian-Ubuntu hit my desktop while I was 
mulling things over.

I try and contribute to the community the best I can I don't code I cant 
create apps so that puts me a few rungs down in the pecking order yet IMV the 
most important thing anyone can do is bring fresh blood to Linux I just 
wondered if this was a case of 'choice' running amok and thereby diluting a 
good distribution.

Anyway I thought you was all dead? At least it got people posting again :x
