So, let me see what we have here. I don't think the following is any exaggeration. I've seen some of these points in this thread alone:
o Within Debian, we're a happy lot except there's no concensys on issues such as dselect, base install content, default customization, etc. o Within Debian, we unite to berate RedHat and Slackware. o Within Linux, we unite against FreeBSD, SCO open, etc. o All the free unix's unite to bash commercial Unix's like Solaris, IRIX, etc. o Unix users everywhere unite against OS/2, NT and everything else from Micro$oft. The exact same thing occurs amongst sports fans when it comes to city, state or provincial teams, division teams, national teams, etc. Then all fans of one sport like hockey may unite against baseball fans, and visaversa. Similar behaviour exists amongst car owners, beer drinkers, programming language users, music lovers, emacs and vi users, C programmers as to where exactly they place the squiggly braces and how they indent their code, religion, politics, you name it. "OK, Rick, So What's Your Point?" I dunno. Different Strokes for Different Folks. Seems like it's just human nature to me. Personally, I just seek out those with similar interests and try not to get sucked into wasting time and energy converting others to my way of thinking. That said, I certainly do appreciate that Debian has an official core that does expend some energy promoting and protecting the Debian image. -- ...RickM... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
