The Linux Distros Project just passed their creation review. I think this really shows the power and breadth of the Eclipse community. All of the major Linux distros, Novell/SuSe, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian, and Red Hat/Fedora are participating in this project. Their stated goal is to ‘Bring Eclipse technology to Liunx distribution users’. What better group of organizations to work on this goal.
There is great potential for Eclipse in the Linux community with projects like CDT, PHP IDE, JDT, RCP, etc. Having these people on-board helping make it happen can only be goodness.
