There's a lot I could say here, but instead I'll quote Benjamin Franklin from 1775: "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin > It's not GNU but it may be OSS > Also as was brought up in a septate thread, there is no way to stop Chrome > from d/l content, which is important to me. Like Jim said, I don't like that either. If I choose when to update, I can get some warning ahead of time of users that have upgraded and found the package broken. Debian/Ubuntu even has some automated tools for this, such as 'apt-listbugs'. It helps when running Debian Sid, which gets several daily updates, of which in rare cases a couple can actually be broken. Sometimes it's package maintainer human error, but occasionally it's due to an upstream design change, which breaks something semi-permanently. > Thus after using Chromeum exclusive for a month, yes it's faster, but not > by so much that I want to give up my plug-ins and freedom. If the browser is slightly slower, I'm willing to be more patient in order to get an End-User License terms that I can tolerate. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Mar 3 - Sahana and 7 Years of MHVLUG Celebration Apr 7 - Nagios May 5 - Android
