I am not going to cover the whole issue, as it seems enough people have already 8), but I should comment on the issue thing. Apart from it not even advertising Gentoo (hmm, think I should add it *g* ), it is asked for for. I have closed many bugs about it before giving in (and then doing it good with /etc/issue.logo =), and I am sure and I am going to get twice as many if it is removed again, as the president was created. No, this is not my .02, but what I will do until I get told officially to change it, or there is a poll and 10,000 users vote against 8) Cheers, -- Martin Schlemmer Gentoo Linux Developer, Desktop/System Team Developer Cape Town, South Africa
