There is a catch here. you can not scratch your itch any way you feel like. only if the free software you write matches 100% with the ideology only then it is accepted. if you scratch you itch for hardware support in a way that does not completely and totally match the ideology then it will be removed or disabled and you will be where you started. So i am back to my original question Does the idea of open source take precedence over usability. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
