Rant on: It has finally come to a boil with me! I'm so damned sick of hearing Linux people disdain anything with a copyright, or anything one might actually have to pay for! In the first place, practically every older Linux distro was _sold_ to the computing public: SuSE and RedHat in particular. In the second place, all you folks who are so gaga about FOSS--how many of you are dissecting the software and rewriting it, or adding to it, or doing anything at all except _using_ it? Not even 1%, I'd bet. I'm especially up in arms with Debian, who won't even let you have a nice clean Firefox or Thunderbird. They've stolen those, changed maybe a word somewhere, and renamed it, and claim that _now_ it's FOSS! Thank God for distros like MINT, which make no bones about making all sorts of useful software available, no matter where it comes from. And for the ones who at least don't condemn it, like Debian does. :ffo tnaR
If you are so enamored with mint, why are you *ranting* here, just spreading fud? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
