No. That's not FUD. Linux was born without business (making money) in mind. And Debian and some other distributions agree with this principle. That's what makes Linux great. Without those principles, Linux wouldn't be what it is now. Ubuntu advantage over Debian is that it's easier to install and configure. Debian asks you to RTFM. But if principles are important for you, and you are able to read a manual, Debian is the distribution to choose. > you can blame lot of things about canonical/debian relationships, but > saying a lie lot of times doesn't make it true... > > wait, was exactly what bush did!!! Do you compare me with Bush? Talking about a computer distribution is something. Doing personnal attacks on someone you don't know is something totally different. Before talking about FUD, you should think twice before posting things like this on a mailing-list.
