Seriously, I really would like to see it, just one example please under Ubuntu/ Debian somebody? > On the other side too much advertisement doesn't harm.

But I consider it as justified when its true, honest. This is one of the things I really appreciate in the Open-Source community, the honesty of people who simply say: << Heck, no! Our programs have bugs and they are far from being perfect just because there is no such thing as a bug-free/perfect program. We believe that the open-source approach brings tools of higher quality, that can satisfy individual needs. This is afterall why the community is an important element of the whole idea. And the Open-Source (business) model, given there is good coordination, can actually bring plenty and fair job opportunities. There is room for everybody. >> Stating something that is not exactly true isn't the best strategy in the long-run. Just my thoughts. Cheers, Nikos
