I sure hope it is not on mine, as far as I know, *you* have to install the package in question, or it won't touch your machine. I was offended by another package "surfraw", and I removed it. But that sure made me think twice about Debian. My position is that as long as the offending packages are a marginal part of the distrobution, and I don't install those packages, I can contiue to use it. But there sure is a limit for how many packages one can stand to try and be offended by. -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux emac140 2.4.17 #1 sön feb 10 20:21:22 CET 2002 i686 unknown Hans Ekbrand
