( - yes, I did see both contents and where they link to, first time around. And I rather think it's a misapprehension at distrowatch, rather than just a typo: by whatever mechanism they've conflated the two separate announcements.) - two basic principles (that I thought were implicitly obvious and so didn't mention them explicitly thus far): ---- * two or more announcements by an organisation/body on the same thing that are from/attributed-to two+ different sources, can make the organisation/body look bad. * you normally want to promote/market/announce your 'product' properly. ---- I'd expected/thought that you/Bruce/whomever might want to notify distrowatch as appropriate. (Sure, one doesn't chase around the internet tilting at windmills; but for at least some sites it can be worth it.) hth, akh > > -- > Note: My last name is not Krejzi. > -- > -- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
