nope. to resume, they are based on two main issues:
1) fostering variety and discouraging top-down branding of big

   distributions. this point is better described in my previous

   posts: consider i'm doing a distribution myself and at the same time

   writing software for mine and other distributions, so i'm constantly

   questioning how small and medium scale efforts can be sustainable

   especially if a distribution can hide to the users the single efforts

   it contains and even the original platform it forks from after 10

   years of development. we should preserve and support the variety of

   free software, not brand it under a single flag, to make it survive

   lively as it does now (IMHO).
2) pertinence - since Ubuntu is not an audio oriented distribution.

no problem. i'm really glad to hear others opinions as i'm not running a

crusade, just a poll and a discussion.
