Good News! - The Canterbury Distribution

[Larry Stotler]

Saw this on all of the distro home pages except for Gentoo. A very
intriguing idea

"The Canterbury Distribution

We are pleased to announce the birth of the Canterbury distribution.
Canterbury is a merge of the efforts of the community distributions
formerly known as Debian, Gentoo, Grml, openSUSE and Arch Linux.
The target is to produce a really unified effort and be able to stand
up in a combined effort against proprietary operating systems, to show
off that the Free Software community is actually able to work together
for a common goal instead of creating more diversity."

Actually, Canterbury comes up on the Gentoo home page as if it is its own.

Google is returning posts suggesting it's a hack or an April 1 joke. If so, masterfully done. If for real. very interesting - especially given the diversity of the distros.
