Recently Debian seems to have grown a very large set of toes that is impossible _not_ step onto. Why all that nitpicking? I fail to see how our social contract allows us to be that arrogant. With the increase of Debian's release times and without commercial support (meaning Ubuntu and/or DCC, whatever its name will be) Debian will be gone before long. At least in that 'enterprise' environment I used to use Debian in. Please try to recognize such efforts as help for Debian (buzzword for this would be 'leverage') not offense. Thanks for coming back down to earth, Jörg X-Disclaimer: I am in no way related to Ubuntu, Progeny, Xandros, DCC. I am just a mediocre DD who does not understand that permanent fighting against everything and everyone. It's getting on my nerves and experience shows that this very discussion will at least last for two years whereafter some people might eventually find that the last stable release was in 2005. -- Joerg "joergland" Wendland | http://www.wendlandnet.de/joerg/ GPG: 51CF8417 FP: 79C0 7671 AFC7 315E 657A F318 57A3 7FBD 51CF 8417
