PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others. In case you are already doing this . great, spread the message. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

MS, What`s the frutifullness of this disucssion if you are not able to listen, There are 28 threads in this discussion and nearly every guy tried to tell you that go and check your facts correctly. I REPEAT, you are not AWARE of GPL and TRADEMARKS. And STOP TOP POSTING.

The biggest hitch in Xandros appears to be their patent covenant with Microsux, which will prevent them from distributing any GPLv3 software. While the base of software licensed under GPLv3 is pretty small right now, it will keep growing and eventually you will find that Xandros doesn't include some of your favourite packages due to their (Xandros') agreement with MS.

On Tuesday 14 Oct 2008, Shiv wrote: [snip] Like most discussions on this list, this thread is in danger of meandering away from the OP's question regarding the Most user friendly distro for non-techies. IMHO we should not be debating whether the most user friendly distro also has FOSS components and so on. We are just attempting to give our views on what linux distros are easiest to adapt by people with little or no technical skills. Adoption can't be considered a one-off process; when you adopt you also buy into the distribution promoter's future, and if the promoter has closed doors to their continual evolution it'd be a bad idea to adopt their product, no? Of course, if you're only looking at adopting a distribution for six months then what you say may well be valid.
