Wow, interesting. I didn't know that before. However, this is by no means a contradiction. Rather the opposite: It is a common pattern which you see around the landscape since about 1920 (I had the direction politics/history as specialization during high school). But let me better do something related to xwin-discuss, which is on my schedule right this week. The other discussion should better not be discussed. And, actually, I do not care too much about the non-technical part. So, in that sense, I am finally working a bit on something interesting, which will be of relevance not only to the (still upcoming) Natamar_x86, but also to Schillix, Belenix and maybe other distros. Reality is a sad, disappointing and dark business. Let's rather return to something which shines, is bright and can be lots of fun :-) Regards, Martin Bochnig _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
