Lets not throw the baby out with the bath water. I've installed iceweasel on my machine for now and as soon as someone (hopefully epiphany) expose the webkit 'web inspector' as a replacement for firebug I'll cut over to that. I was a die hard debian user back in the day, and knew some of the people working on the early alpha, I switched over as soon as there was something available, why? because Ubuntu was the compromise between something extremely true to open source and open community (debian), and something practical. The nature of Ubuntu is that it walks a line between the cathedral and the bazaar to produce something of both worlds, which just works, is free, open and is polished. You may be far to the left of this idea or far to the right, and in either case you might be offended by some of the choices Canonical makes. The rest of us will enjoy the working product, and take or leave packages as we please. -- Timothy J Stebbing -- AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269656 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
