Completely off topic: Did you know that there is a "Christian Edition" of Ubuntu? It's only a few minor tweaks. You can download a program that will upgrade your computer (the program is called 'comvert_me' :) ) and will install GnomeSword (Bible study software), DansGuardian (for blocking inappropriate content) and different wallpapers, screen savers, etc. http://www.whatwouldjesusdownload.com/christianubuntu/ > If you are all bent out of shape over someone using the "Official > OpenOffice.org Name!" then you need to go back and read the dozens of > threads of people bitching whenever someone who distribute > OpenOffice.orgunder a different name. There's no winning apparently. I'd like to point out that there's another way to do open source and control the name. You can trademark "OpenOffice.org" and say that no one can use that name. They can take the source and make Luxurousity Office, but they can't call it "OOo Premium". This is why you don't see third parties selling "Red Hat" but you see parties selling products like "Pink Tie" which are "guaranteed 100% compatible with Red Hat". Cheers, Daniel. -- "I AM in shape.
