Actual to some extend, debating about this is also contributing to the main topic of "advocate badvista". By suggesting what alternative we can adopt and what we should not. I agree that it is becoming too in detail about the internal of ubuntu. As long as we can relate all back to the badvista campaign, i think it is fine =) What do you think? --- Lam YongXian Adolflam.com FSF member #5279 _______________________________________________ Advocate mailing list [email protected] http://badvista.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/advocate
