One of the most indelible images in the history of personal computing came in 1984, when Apple Computer delivered its famous television ad depicting a running heroine throwing a hammer (read, a Mac) at a looming Big Brother-like specter representing IBM. The ad was directed by Ridley Scott, director of Blade Runner, and is a classic example of how Apple has always sought to reach those interested in alternative technology solutions that may not be market share leaders. On the open source front today, Canonical could do big things with Ubuntu by imitating Apple's early playbook.

Brian Proffitt recently tackled the topic of distro-hopping over on LinuxPlanet. Proffitt wonders whether the practice might be passe or something to be discouraged, but it's here to stay and should be encouraged rather than looked at askew.
Distro-hopping, if you're not familiar with the term, is the practice of switching Linux distributions. While some users find a "home" and stick with one Linux distribution, others "hop" around and try out several distros. Sometimes in an effort to find the One True Distro, other times just because the variety between distros is something to be enjoyed and experienced. Whatever the reason, it's a good thing for the user and community when people have experience with more than one operating system.
