Wow. The last thing I expected to see when I wrote that comment was that my name would show up in an article somewhere. What I was actually going for was to get our actual users excited about what we're doing, not provide troll-fodder. I'm no fan of Vaughn-Nichols, and generally consider him a total hack. The most notable evidence for this is that our X install stuff is almomst identical to Ubuntu's and yet he falls all over himself to talk about how great Ubuntu is, but then denigrates us for the exact same X setup. Way to do your research. "The Father Of Ubuntu", but I do know that we won't be able to avoid these types of articles if we can't figure it out and make it happen. Anyway, I think we've done a lot of great work for etch, and we can do more for lenny. I know I've got my plans for the X stuff, and from the TeX and Postgres announcements on -devel-announce, it's clear that others also have big plans. None of the stuff I've got in mind will resolve this problem, but I'm open to suggestions. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
