from Collins: " Done deal. I'll be silent.
I hope you'll continue to speak up. While I agree generally with the criticisms aimed at some of your comments (which criticisms seem to have provoked your above remark), the gentleman who made those criticisms has a delete key, as do I. In free discussion, as in free software, we're all, imho, better off having the widest possible variety from which to pick and choose according to our own individual preferences. To refrain from making a comment (or to advocate such restraint) because it might offend is, in my view, very shortsighted. For my own personal situation, I'm hoping to be able to use the a/LFS project to develop a 'distro' that will be suitable for me. For a number of reasons, this is likely to take a very long time. I don't mind that, inasmuch as my main reason for coming to Linux was a strong desire to understand and control what my software was doing and why. If at least I don't add any more m$ to what I already have then I won't be any worse off than I am now. If dep's distro fits for me, I'll be an enthusiastic supporter. In any event, I'm very glad he raised the question. R -- http://www.quen.net "Fix reason firmly in her seat and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there is one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." --Thomas Jefferson _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
