I agree the naming is a bit dubious, as it implies an endorsement (which I don't believe exists here). Having said that, I don't think Debian is "the official partner of the FSF"; RMS has had reservations about an "official partnership" because of the mentioning of non-free on the website, and a few other issues. > [f'up honored but I still think some people from devel are interested.] Non-technical discussions belong on -project now... if they're interested, they should subscribe ;-) Chris -- ============================================================================= | Chris Lawrence | You have a computer.
