[openbeos] OBOS vs distro

And this is a very interesting thread of conversation. 
There are thousands of open source applications available. 
Which, if any, should be part of an "OBOS" distro?

I believe that distro's are not our problem.
Just like Linus doesn't tell RedHat what to include, so, too, should be (OBOS) 
not care.
Let the distro makers do that.

BeUnited has already volunteered to make distros. I can't talk about all of the 
details yet, as they 
are still getting everything together, but there is good stuff happening there. 
I am also speaking with YellowTab
on the same issues. Basically, I would say that unless there is something like, 
say, ps or kill that are intimately tied
to OBOS and can not possibly be called a port, let's let the distro folks 
handle it. Unless there is someone out there
without any work to do... :-)
