Making things RC seldom helps. i think having a GOOD desktop should be a release goal. This list/group can propose it do the RM's. Enterprise Desktop is a Must if debian wants to keep really alive and increase it's user base.

Suse SLES uses, for example, possibility to integrate to an LDAP server. Debian achieves the same just depending on libpam-ldap (which settings can be preseeded). So, creating this enterprise desktop task would improve the adoption of debian in enterprise's desktop where i think debian is a good option, but, it lacks out of the box implementation. So people just install ubuntu (that has graphical/user improvements). If we make this our release goal we can gain a "market" share that no distribution has (there is only SLES and RHEL for enterprise oriented desktop) > > > Michael > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
