We have to tread a bit carefully in that area, as you'll find supporters of all political parties and of quite a range of viewpoints within the Linux community. It might be appropriate to take a cue from Linus himself; growing up between a fervently-communist father and a very practical mother, he gained an ability to avoid getting caught in the middle or getting forced to take sides, and an ability to find alternative viewpoints "outside the box". This has served him well as Linux finds itself in the crossfire between the FSF and Microsoft. Anyway, let's try to avoid climbing on other peoples' bandwagons. -- Anthony de Boer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
