3. Fedora is Unix-like
The operating environment in Fedora builds on over 40 years of
experience. Some of that is quirky and strange, but it's a strangeness
that has become familiar. Changes from that legacy should only be made
with the recognition that simply making things different has a cost, and
that cost must be justified.
This means knowledge transfers to and from Fedora. It means certain
basic tools are always there.
Matt,
I'd also like to quote from a blogpost about gnome-os and gnome3:
"What lies underneath is mostly just implementation detail. What matters
is what we expose to the user and the developer. I propose that we take
notes from Android, WebOS, Meego, and others and consider Linux an
implementation detail and start to define the OS as we see fit."
That's from
http://blogs.gnome.org/mccann/2010/08/01/shell-yes/
how do you reconcile #3 there with that?
b/c I am having a difficult time doing that.
