Huh? Don't you consider the kernel + glibc + xorg today a good "Linux stack"? Isn't the "Android stack" another example of a good "Linux stack"? > Does the Linux Foundation plan to do this? Not at all, the Linux Foundation is not doing any of this. The Linux Foundation is a vendor-netural orginization that provides a "safe" place for companies and the community to come together and collaborate on a number of different projects. It also provides a place that sponsors a few people to work in a vendor-netural way on projects they wish to work on, with no say by the LF or anyone else on what they do with their time. And it supports the kernel.org orginization in various ways as well (financial and legal and administration.) Hope this helps, gre k-h
