Hello from Gregg C Levine normally with Jedi Knight Computers <Sheepish grin inserted here> Mark, I did not mention who I spoke with, because I actually do not remember who I spoke with, then. It has been about a full year since then, after all, and the next LWE is practically around the corner. I just remember mentioning the subject off-hand, to the single representative who was there, this past show. He did mention, that the subject was being pursued, there, based on the successes that they had, with a few of the other ports. The reason why I think they did not take it seriously, then, because the other distribution makers were, you know the ones, Red Hat, TurboLinux, Suse, so there you are. But that was my opinion then, yesterday when I had posted the note. Rick Troth, posted me a polite note, off list, that he, and I, came to the same conclusions, independently regarding the subject matters of the ways that kernel sources are being distributed. That because I nominated our distribution, for the way it distributed kernel sources, over everyone else. And now that I have had to time to think about it, .I actually think that was the name of the person, that I met, there, then. I suppose it will come back to me, full force, after I walk onto the show floor at LWE, next time. Why? Do you plan on being in attendance this year? ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
