> Except the normal user gives shit about packaging systems. Our mission includes teaching users that freedom is important, so that they understand how GNOME is superior inherently to proprietary desktops. If we accept the misguided "normal" ways of judging, trained on proprietary software and disregarding its intrinsic faults, we also put ourselves at a disadvantage: we have to compete on a field shaped by the adversary. In effect, we would be competing with one hand tied behind our back. Instead of that, we must do our best to shape the field to favor our intrinsic advantage, respect for users' freedom -- what our proprietary adversaries refuse to try to do. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
