[wellylug] Forking Linux.

[Enkidu]

Is it time to fork the Linux concept?

There are lot of linux people whose concept of Linux begins and ends
with the desktop/WM/GUI. There are many who consider the
desktop/WM/GUI to be a total waste of disk space. 

The GUI-Linuxers wouldn't know what to do without their Windows
surrogate (OK - trolling just a tad, eh?) Many text-only Linuxers find
a depressingly increasing number of essential tools coming only in GUI
flavours.

Should we split into GUI-Linux and TUI-Linux? The GUIers could then
concentrate on improving and incorporating the GUI concept into all
aspects of Linux, while test TUIers could concentrate on the fast
clean aspects that only a text console allows.

In future when asked what Linux you run, you could possibly answer
"SuSe Gnome-Linux" or "Mandrake KDE-Linux" or "Debian Text-Linux".

Cheers,
