If you actually read what I wrote, the quote that you referenced me with is
not there, although the words included in it all jumbled together were used
in a context different to anything I said about you personally. Not knowing
you, I can't say whether they apply to you or not, so with regard to any
"insults" (your word, not mine), and so I've restricted myself to remarking
on your patronising assumption that I need educating on the distinction
between open source and free software licenses, when all I asked about was a
technical matter to do with graphics card drivers.
Regarding the graphics card that you seem keen on having me buy, I've already
spent the £40 that I have on another, so at whatever price you can quote me
it would be more expensive. If that doesn't seem clear enough, 40 + 40 = 80.
80 is twice 40. I only had 40, and it's already spent. If and when I ever
have another £40 to spend I may consider your suggestion, but will probably
reject it, because by the time I have more money for hardware, the chances
are that the nouveau developers will have solved the problem with my existing
card.
Finally, I'm glad you won't be replying. I always like to have the last word.
Especially when I'm right. In any case, reasonably enough, and without
casting aspertions where they don't belong, I've gone back to another distro,
at least until the very worthy Trisquel includes drivers that work my
hardware.
