No. I was explaining to the right person, who did not do proper homework to understand why debian unstable did not have 2.6.27 kernel. Ubnuntu = Debian Unstable - recompiled is true for majority (I believe it is close to 100%) for the universe component. Ubuntu focus on about 1000 core components which includes linux, the kernel to maintain on its own and the rest depend on Debian. "In universe you can find almost every piece of open source software, and software available under a variety of less open licences, all built automatically from a variety of public sources." http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components And the major public source here is debian unstable repository which they fail to acknowledge. - Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
