hello all. i am currently a user of ubuntu 10.04 LTS. in a matter of months that release will no longer be supported by canonical, and i am shopping around for another free-software operating system to use.
i understand that recent changes to ubuntu conflate (by default) local and web searches performed with certain applications, and intersperse web results from amazon in their output. i find this massively disturbing. in my view, it is a flagrant violation of implict free-software principles (if not the explicit ones as well), and under no circumstances will i be using ubuntu in the future for that reason. furthermore, i am now highly suspicious of canonical's integrity as a distributer of free software. and so, regarding lubuntu, i have the following questions. 1. do current releases of lubuntu incorporate these changes as well? 2. what are the lubuntu developer's attitudes on these changes? 3. who hosts lubuntu's repositories? i will appreciate any replies to this question, preferably on-list because this is a matter of concern to the free software community. thank you for your time. cheers, wes -- Lubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
