No, of course. But, can you imagine that, on a Unix system, 'gcc' is |
| 7 |
in the same place than 'gkrellm', can you imagine that 'widget' (a |
| 8 |
example app from perl/tk) lives with the 'find' command ? |

For my own, i'll _never_ consider 'find' and 'gcc' on the same basis |
| 11 |
as gkrellm or widget. |

Don't know if my english skill is enough to express what i mean... |

It's not a matter of repartition, it's a matter of software |
| 20 |
categorization. |
