I.m telling it like it is, Guillaume. Just the facts. If I am in any way wrong about my initial judgement of 9.0, please show me. Your attitude to my gripes only serves to confirm their actuality, which is apparently not the news you want to hear. > You've been away from the 9.0 > development, and now that it's over you come back here to insult > again the work of our community of mandrake developers and cooker > testers/developers, this being absolutely not deserved. I have been with the 9.0 beta testing since day one, and with the software development process for 39 professional years in three countries (USA, Canada, Australia). My one regret is that Mandrake saw fit to rush to release without even bothering to poll its beta testers for still-current not yet reported problems. That's no way to run a development operation, is it? > We don't > have a tradition of censorship, so could you consider by yourself > the possibility of resigning your cooker mailing-list membership? > Probably this would be the best decision both for you and us, so > that we stop wasting our time. Thank you! Wasting your time? Examples, please... You people obviously need administration of a touch of user-level reality sometimes. I have been one of the few really valuable resources to MandrakeSoft, and to other companies, all appreciative, no complaints. -- Ron.
