The 'ethics' of using software should be a personal decision.
My Gawd, look at all the Windoze sinners .....
Soooo, if'n when Nap gets killed by a bunch of greedy lawyers ;->
there _are_ alternatives. I've been able to install and connect
with Gnutella ( http://gnutella.wego.com/ ) using Mdk's 'gnubile'
rpm, but no luck finding/getting anything. I get plenty of
connected servers, I can 'see' a lot of available files
.... but i could sure use some pointers from some experienced
Gnutella/Gnubile hands (yeah, I read the tutorial :) I also gave
'Gnut' a spin... did even worse ;(
