I get little feedback on the page. (Well, until I took it down, anyway; now I'm getting some mail about it.) > I collected in my page info about DRI, airport, sound, pmu, kernel, X > configuration,... which is obviously missing in your page. Yes, you collected some valuable information and presented it in one place, which is a nice and convenient thing to do. I don't think anyone has asserted otherwise. > All that info dates from June 24th to yesterday. Yes. > I did not intend to offend anyone, nor plagiarize your page. I just > collected the info. An earlier version included quite a bit of text verbatim from my page. > Seems that trying to help gives me more headaches than happiness. Only if one overreacts. I never insisted that you take the page down. I also assured you that you would suffer no retributive actions from me. You have free will. If you want to keep the page up, put it back up. > I give up. I think this reaction is just about the least constructive possible.
