rely on them as your employees and/or market. |

And yes, it's _very_ hard to make a distro, I've worked on 3 different |

ones now (maintaining pretty much a whole distro with just 3 people at a |
| 14 |
past job), and the effort and time involved is vastly unknown by anyone |
| 15 |
who has not done it before. |
