What the heck is R? C+14?
It also refers to Debian as an "older version of Linux," and doesn't
mention GNU at all.
...yet does quote Ian Murdock - a great dude.
But exposure is good, right?
Exactly!

actually help anything? Right?
Indeed...but you are a kook from Vermont, which practically makes you a

Kindest Regards,
