I think Dick Smith are doing very well. To be honest, I think the community is not supporting them enough. They've had to wait ages before the plans for forming the Linux approval system was even started - it's still not finished. They've still not got a Windows OSS/Live boot master disk off us. Every time DSE ask us for some work, it's a bloody great song and dance to get things moving. I have an excellent working relationship with Chris Day, and I know he'll bend over backwards to help us - but we've got to do our fair share too. If anyone wants to help despite my vocal criticism, for chrissakes get in touch with Chris or myself. DSE Have the resources, they're willing to play, and they need all the support you can give them!
