Hi,
When RMS started the campaign, I thought it was a big pain in the butt. On
the other hand, I did agree that the work that the FSF and others (XFree86,
KDE, etc.) was getting lost in the commotion about Linux.
While I still tend to call the OS Linux, now I mention the FSF and the

I missed Rob's talk at UNH, and would like to visit the lonely Monadluggers,

How ironic that the company that helps drive DMCA and Senator Hollings
choses Linux to save money.
The irony is almost overwhelming.

I tend to agree with Ben. Remember that Disney also was well behind the
Sonny Bono extension of the copyright period to 90 ears, er, ah, years.

It is confirmed that we will have a room at Daniel Webster College tomorrow

Michael,
This is one reason why there are different distributions, with different

I recently got back from a trip to Brazil where they have some very interesting
projects going on. I could give a report on the trip and some of the projects.
Then you could demonstrate GnuCash, and we could end up by heckling Ben over

interaction with GNHLUG. The first is usually fairly complex and costs lots
