And put it under /data/, please. The infamous `Constitution of Finland'
thread should have made clear that Debian has accumulated enough bloatware
in main/, contrib/ and non-free/. New ideological ammunition should IMO
be added somewhere where the simple user who wants to get a system running
doesn't stumble over.
[Andrew Weiss] Of course we could make a new Debian based distro with only main and even a limited set of main and a mandatory virtual richard stallman package... then call it BORING Linux. Whoo hoo... Non-free is the best thing to happen to Linux... especially since unless you want to re-package the stuff it is free. (No not free in the FSF definition of the word, but you don't pay for it) Personally Mozilla's a great idea, but it sucks and produces many pages of text errors in a small window... Linux without Netscape is fairly crippled for most people... same as Linux without StarOffice, or WordPerfect/Corel Office, or Applix. KOffice is still a fantasy... and gasp* hehe KDE isn't included in "free"... whoopee.
Bracing for the flame war... and knowing full well that this post is slightly off topic.
