Re: WANTED: Distro recommendation

[Jason Greenwood]

Sorry, I should have been more specific and said GPL....most of the 
other "Open Source" licenses don't guarantee full software freedom like 
the GPL. Suse produces software that is not GPL'd, EVERYTHING Mandrake 
(and AFAIK Debian too) produces is GPL'd, that's why I'd prefer it over 
Suse, simple as that.

That is all the more I will say on this. As you said, I guess I started 
it... <Me slaps myself in disgust>

Cheers

Jason

Open source = source code supplied and I can muck with it. I have no
time to discuss the most politically correct definition of open source

exactly what is part of Debian and what isn't. I am primarily
interested in software which works, SuSE meets that requirement. Other
distros do to. Some distros have more zealots than others. Note it
wasn't me who started this distro war - I just replied to you ;)

PS, is it your intention to be abrasive Volker or do I misunderstand you 
sometimes?


Misunderstanding. Either yours or mine, since English isn't my first
language, probably mine. One decade I might learn it...
