THIS STORY IS IT TRANSLATION !!!! i did not set *ANY* facts there. i just took something someone wrote, translated it and published. there is a link to the original item. i did not take any stands or made any announcements. this is the difference between publishing something original and translating. maybe i should be more clear about those things in the future. in any way, i did not try to aggravate anyone on the list, and i am sorry if thats what i did. bare in mind that there are not many (if at all) linux related news items in Israel, and most of what we publish in the site (other then reviews) are translated news items. it will not be fare to take something someone else wrote, and manipulate it so it will fit what i want to say. sorry for all the mess this post caused. i will be more carefull in the future. -- -------------------------------------- Amir Tal, System Administrator Whatsup - Linux related news And support - in hebrew ! icq : 15748705 http://www.whatsup.org.il -------------------------------------- ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
