Bedrock Linux 0.7.20

Bedrock Linux is one of the more interesting projects I have come across in my travels through the open source community. Bedrock Linux is a meta distribution, meaning it is not really a distribution of the Linux kernel and corresponding userland tools. Instead it is a special kind of tool which allows different Linux distributions to work together as though they were one operating system.

Put another way, consider that many people feel concern with how much diversity (or fragmentation, if you prefer) there is in the Linux ecosystem. People worry there are too many package managers, too many different formats and standards. They feel frustration at knowing different distributions have different strengths and weaknesses. They rankle at the conflict of wanting to install a Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone to get long-term stability while also wanting a few cutting edge programs from the Arch Linux repository.
