gah, typical M$ blackmail practice.<br><br>if PCLinuxOS (thats the "PCLinux" u ment right?) caves, what does that mean for distros based on it, like video linux*? would the M$ lawyer piddle trickle down, or has the branch already seperated and it's clean?
<br>and would that be the case with all other distros too?<br><br>i'm like linus, not bothered at all really (though i feel like uninstalling suse a little now just to cleanse myself haha), and know that the power of the people will see another tyrant regime fall.
<br><br>"Rome falls nine times an hour" - Terrence McKenna.<br><br>here's to GPL3! :)<br><br>* i have the iso downloaded, was about to get to installing it, would like to know where it's future is likely headed.

I reckon there will be two more U.S. distros to cave in, PCLinux and<br>Mepis, leaving Fedora to carry the free flag in the U.S.<br><br>We will wait and see if I am right.<br><br>Gordon<br><br><br><br>Arron Finnon wrote:<br>

The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; skin; world; star; We are one. No matter the pain; darkness; loss; fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.
