Unless some sense is knocked into some brain dead developers in debian and ubuntu, i for one will stop using both. One of the developers of a note taking app -tomtom or somesuch - ( we know how important note taking is to the survival of the whole universe), is dragging in the whole patent infested Mono library into debian and Ubuntu. 40+ MB of patent crap for a note taking app???. Something has gone real rotten in debian. Of course one can go about getting rid of it, but if a distro is going to be as brain dead, one might as well ditch it at the first opportunity. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
