So do you imply that ALL GNU/Linux users should dump all other distros
and stick with and only use Debian for being COMPLETELY FREE?
When you use Debian, READ what Debian states - 'Tis your freedom to use or
not to use Debian. Debian believes in its freedom. Effectively using Debian
enchourages you to have more choice.
The inspiration for and creation of Ubuntu is a fine illustration of the
same.
JTD is simply telling you of what Debian stands for, and why its important.
i don't think anyother distro(i haven't used gnewsense yet) asserts that.
I will STOP using GNU/Linux the day I find that I have ONLY ONE
DISTRIBUTION. :-)
again, your choice :-)
