Perfectly acceptable definitions, but It wasn't the point I was addressing. I was merely pointing out that Canonical has spent more money and staff time contributing to Debian than anyone else, and in so doing, raised it from a minor player with a political axe to grind to a major player. I don't like everything they have done, but then I don't like everything Novell has done for Suse either. As an aside, I don't have any major quality issues with Kubuntu and Xubuntu - at least none that rise to the level of the broken ZMD debacle of recent history. It would probably be polite to have pot wait a couple of releases before calling the kettle black. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
