I read this and could believe, so I went to synaptic to see. It's there. Debian trade-mark is a very strong, and brings with it so many attributes conquered over time. We must be careful to not let this happen. I understand people must be developing for ubuntu more than for debian, and that sometimes software goes the other way around. This collaboration between distros is very important. But keeping Debian Debian is of utter importance. It's a marketing issue, so I cc'd the debian-publicity mailing list to alert the problem. My best, Beco. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
