dedicated open source people.
In the Danish open source community we are somehow mystified about an
organisation calling them self "Danish Open Source Society" (DOSS). On
their website they claim the support of Bruce Perens and thei

Careful. While I agree that all the changes you suggest are desireable, I
think that most are nominative and so do not infringe the
trademark.

Some of the core packages have some substantial differences as well, such
as the network management scrip
Cc:ed to dcca-discuss, since that's who needs to change this FAQ.

Dear Debian Developers:
I wrote some weeks back regarding the Debian Pure
project I head up. After receiving responses from
many of you, it was clear that Debian Pure had
infringed on the Debian trademark. As a result, the
site has been closed and a new site opened. The name
is now GenieOS and
Rafi,
glad to see you are interested in using Debian.

Depends on the degree of learning you are willing to invest.

Hi,
I'm quite new in Linux, I currently have the Mandriva distribution. Questions:
1. Do you recommend Debian although I'm not going to work as a server and I'm new in Linux?
2. Is the installation process is by command lines , not graphics ? If not graphic , is it complex/requires lot of time ?
