Hey, have I lately talked about KLA? :) Did I mention that they are spreading out 50.000 copies to schools in France? They are two and a half part time developers. There are no timely security updates. And look how well Microsoft supports its users with spyware infected computers. The only software on a desktop system that needs updates is the web browser. No, no, no :o) I don't understand marketing that gives away lots of its possible effect for being holier than the pope :^) > > If Gnome wants to go this path and become a distribution in and of > itself, that is fine, but I doubt that that is what your average gnome > hacker wants. My guess is that the average hackers wants as many people to use his software as possible. That is kind of applause for the artist :) GNOME does not need to become a distribution by itself it simply can plug to something existing.
