Umm. No i dont use Gnome most of the time. It's KDE.... And it's not about me. I can wind my way thru - including rolling my own distro if needed. It's about the stupidity of exposing a whole swath of users to potential patent liability. The only users who would be protected are ones who have distros with patent protection clauses signed up with M$- Novell, Lindows and RH?. We know that codevelopment deal was partly about virtualisation. But that's what they told us. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
