I'm huge on the freedom to choose, but not so much on being *forced* to choose. Users should have the freedom to install KDrive if they want (IMHO this should be packaged), or whatever, but Xorg should come per default - most people aren't qualified to make that choice, and shouldn't have to. -- Daniel Stone <daniels@debian.org> Debian: the universal operating system http://www.debian.org
