I, on the other hand, think it's a foolish idea. The essence of Linux is not "my distribution is better than yours", or "my desktop looks prettier". The essence of Linux is the code, and the things you can do with it. It's the mechanisms, the standards, the code, not the policy - this distribution makes everything convenient for users, and that one compiles everything from scratch. Who cares? No matter which distribution I run, they all do the same things. I couldn't care less which distribution is "better", because which distribution I run has infinitesimal bearing on the things I do with it. Therefore, the difference between RH and Mandrake, or Suse and Debian, are of no importance to me. I'd much rather hear about the new technologies in RH 8.0, than about the difference between its desktop theme and mandrake's desktop them, which the discussion you're proposing will ultimately degrade into. IMHO, YMMV, Muli. -- Muli Ben-Yehuda http://www.mulix.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sctrace strace /bin/foo http://syscalltrack.sf.net/ Quis custodes ipsos custodiet? http://www.mulix.org/cv.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
