I dont think thats fair, Even though i personally won't be too much inclined to use sybase, the fact remains that Proprietory applications _will_ remain as a significant part of the computing for decades to come. As linux users if we need to promote linux we can not shunn away from the people who just need to use those propriatory apps. Otherwise we should also ban discussing java plugins/apps, crossover office and heck even the firefox flash plugin. (do we need to include mplayer ?? i think it wasn't free, as in free speech, atleast few years back i am not sure of the current status) got my point? So as long as the discussion remains about using sybase _on_ _linux_ and issues involved in it i think it should be ok. -- BAIN http://abhijit.adotout.net -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
