Neither Fedora nor Debian are `companies'; Fedora is merely heavily sponsored by RedHat, but becoming more and more independent. Debian never was and never will be a company or get heavily sponsored by one.
Feel free to put your energy whereever you want, but please respect other Free Software projects along the way.
hey.. Michael.... i did not say those are companies....aaarrgh.... i think my words overlapped there. i clear this illusion here: 1.) "sometimes i think there are too many people working on Fedora and too many on Debian and other GNU/Linu distros and here Hurd lacks manpower. i think people have forgotten their freedom" 2.) "Corporates are a virus to society" these 2 are different and unrelated to each other. in (2) by corporates i mean companies like Sun, IBM, Java and all of those big MNCs and small non-MNCs who create proprietary softwares. i do not target Microsoft or any single company because root cause of the trouble is proprietary mentality which is shared by more than 97% of the corporate. by (1) i mean too many people are working on other distros, maintaing them and spending their energy and time on them, including maintaining non-free packages like Skype, Sun-JRE, unrar etc. while that time could be spent on writing Hurd translators, a Hurd installer and a package system for GNU or some other trivial but important work for GNU Project but they do not. so you see i attacked 2 very different and unrelated aspects and i explained them in context to one aspect "Hurd lacks manpower". i really overlapped these 2 earlier .. i apologize bothering you :-| -- http://arnuld.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ gnu-system-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-system-discuss
