I think standardization would be a good idea.  One of the biggest hassles with Linux is the different flavors and the package differentials.

When you try out a new type of Linux, you never know what you are getting and if applications you require will run on it.

Installation would also be easier if standards were followed.

You are right, it's not exactly earth shaterring, but it can only help Linux become more "user friendly", therefore, possibly convincing others to adapt to it.

BTW: What's everyone's opinion on this:

APPLE: Web writers not 'legitimate members of the press'...

Seems to me that Apple is going to pi$$ off a lot of bloggers and online-journalists with statements like this.  I'm sure a lot of these "illegitimate" writers use Apple and may not appreciate it.  I'm actually surprised there hasn't been much of an outcry ...

I mean, can you imagine if Micosoft were to say something like this?

But I guess as long as it's not the evil MS, it okay.
