Ok, then I don't understand. I'm back to: "Do you want to buy from Dell, HP, Apple, ect. and get 0% Open Source and no chance of Open Source in the future" What's your point? What do you mean by "get 0% open source"? What problem are you addressing with this. You last response was because intel builds stuff for people and doesn't share their customers plans with other customers. All those companies contribute to OSS though. So where is this 0% coming from? -- m0gely _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
