Linux people divided?!?! How can this be? I mean there's only 15 bazillion distributions, a handful of window managers, a few flavors of every command line utility...
Isn't diversity the point? Just because some folks kneel before Zod doesn't mean that the whole thing's over! Honestly, Clark Kent will go back to the fortress of solitude someday...

Saying that Linux is going to be torn in two, makes for good press and lively debates, but this is certainly nothing new for Linux.http://lxer.com/module/newswire/ext_link.php?rid=88997
