Then along came Jesus and started a whole new distribution.
More of a fork wouldn't you say? And then not by intention on his part, as he was in computer terms, clarigying the documentation, was he not?

Thanks for recognizing that. One guy cracked a humorous joke. I merely chimed in with my $0.02 worth, and got called off-topic. After defending my position, the whole topic went dead. Very revealing, if not helpful.
Revealing?
I think the discussion of teaching children about Linux is very important.
Indeed, as do I. It just so happens that *I* think the whole thread is a perfect candidate for [OT], being non-technical in it's nature (apart from the "very young children and passwords" -bit)...
[OT] was created more or less as a direct result of Fred getting napalmed for posting links to articles, which usually had some sort of relevance to the linux community. It's the place for non-tech stuff.
I truly hope the others have just taken a day off, and not allowed someone's misjudgment to ruin the discussion.

If I was out of line - which I do not believe - someone point out how so. I'm fairly well versed in netiquette, and taught that as part of Internet classes back in the mid 90's.
Fine. I'll just STFU now.

I would have to agree that the whole discussion should be part of the OT list. I came into it fairly late, though. I didn't start the Moses-Knoppix-Yggdrasil theme, and should not have been singled out. The whole discussion should have been called "off-topic". At the very least, the comments leading to the fork in the discussion should have been included along with mine. By singling out my comments, it appears - to me, at least - that I was getting singled out for using the "wrong" word in a sentence. If I have misunderstood, just communicate that. Since no one is stepping forth to suggest otherwise, I hold my view to be true. I truly thought others had a sense of humor, too. After all, that's all the fork was - humorous comments. All I'm asking for is to be treated fairly. Kindest regards, -- Don Parris Webmaster Matheteuo Christian Fellowship Charlotte, NC http://matheteuo.org/ webdev@matheteuo.org
