Non-free software sets back the whole community.
It is non-free, nobody can develop on it, the author wants the rights for
himself (greed).
free software lets all code and share and create, everybody wins.
non-free, only the developer wins, and those that have enough money to buy
free
It would be very cool if the debian installer had a listofpackages.txt
and that listofpackages.txt could be edited by the user
then we would be getting customized debian installs
some people would edit and tell it to auto install:
- zsh
- lilo instead of grub
- lukssetup (crypt thing)
- ext3
Just installed debian on an old amd32 platform, it booted in 4-5 seconds !:)
debian + GNU base, love it
debian is one of the last dists to create a no fuzz installer, only installer
that is tolerable to me
so I hope the baseinstall will be made even more non-gui in the future
and perhaps
If there was a choice in the installer for Init system and boot loader there
would be nobody complaining.
People only complain when there isn't a choice and they are forced to use
something new.
I.e.
forced to use ext4 instead of ext3
forced to use grub instead of lilo
forced to use systemX
Who needs to document their own pc they hack on daily?
suddenly I couldnt just place a script in rc2.d folder anymore, needed to
symlink
needed to add an lsb header too it seems
maybe I'm overlooking something
I prefer to hack on my own without using debian tools, update-rc.d i.e.
would be

Really? All that because of that a human being used an emotional

Yes. Human beings are perfectly able to
that the person wanting their non-free uploaded should
reconsider would be a good thing
due to it not being optimal with a large non-free repos as I said.

I sent the poor guy a link to my bashrc with how to compile
debian binary and source packages then noone has to feel bad :-)
but true, constructive feedback is much better than flaming just

I bet most of us have tried running non-free at some time,
and seen several reasons, i.e. adobe
You should repent your sins
Thinking proprietary is a sin in the free software community
Making a fully free replacement is a much better way, don't taint your
operating system or kernel!
Might as well change to windows then, because running non-free isn't that bad
eh?

Contacting copyright holder and asking them to release under
GPL or such is not a bad idea.
even if they say no they might consider it in the future.
They will know there is a real use for it.
Else people just buy free-software complying hardware, or better
alternative software that is fully

I have some suggestions:
grub2 , I don't like its/its current integration, and the autogenerated
files are very ugly - I used to use lilo ... sometimes grub fails with
raid(even when debian says it has installed fully), auto updating grub after
upgrading the system can fail sometimes
Package: wnpp
Version: 0.9-1
Checked WNPP/apt for the package and didn't find anything like it.
I already made the package for private purposes before checking.
It was made as there was nothing like it in apt apparently.
The only programs existing were saldi(php) and nonfree windows programs
