There really wasn't any hard feeling. We had a little contratemps with
FSF because we didn't want to be under their direction, and Richard Stallman
said some things that got people on the net angry, but it's not like it was
some kind of war.
I used to think that there had been harsh words between Debian and Slackware,
but it turned out it was the _users_ fighting, not any of the developers.
I think there are people out there with the entire mail archive. I don't
have it. We should put it on a CD before we lose it. I have the CD writer
and a CD if someone can direct me to the complete file set.
Thanks
Bruce
