As I understand things from friends who are Debian users or ex-Debian users who I managed to coax over to FreeBSD, the Debian mantainers are asses about what goes into the distribution. Specifically, anything with a license that doesn't meet their definition of "free" gets the axe. I don't see why we should get involved with Debian, as they seem to be based mostly on a philosophy of furthering RMS's ajenda. -- Brian Buchanan brian@CSUA.Berkeley.EDU -------------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! http://www.freebsd.org daemon(n): 1. an attendant power or spirit : GENIUS 2. the cute little mascot of the FreeBSD operating system To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
