I don't agree. This has nothing to do with "they" or "us". It's more about a WIKI page where anybody and everybody can enter their choice of preference in different categories. It's not about commercial or free either. Let the individual decide what he/she wants to go for.
I agree. Sometimes only one particular commercial product actually does the business. On the other hand an open source one that I haven't heard of may do it just as well or better. Can our wiki have star ratings? Can we have these external offerings on a YOU compatible server? Saves lots of fiddling about finding the right download etc, which is why we go for distros anyway. However what about things such as MP3 which may/maynot be legal to include in certain juresdictions? Otherwise effectivly we are only getting what is legal in Utah. To be truely open we need alternate sources. -- Simon Dales, Software Consultant "The impossible is easy"
