The 'Where do you want to go today?' phrase came to mind as one phrase that does't quite express Free software because it says nothing about the user but his/her choice to use a piece of software. But 'How do you want to configure it?' shows the idea of the collaborative nature of Free software where user and developer jointly decide the future and work together on it. Cheers, Kev
Reply: That expression is really key for Debian's specificity, and kind of software system _and_ community/organization: The question "How do you want to configure it?" is also showing the versatility of Debian, but all that power is controlled by the debian system, simbolized by the fact that it(debian) is literally making a question to the user how does he want to configure it (use it for, ways of using it, etc.) OH MY ... http://www.geocities.com/jobezone/index.html __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
