Eh, I wouldn't say that. I do think we should be careful to protect those areas where we're strong and not sacrifice them, but we're actually pretty good at doing multiple things at the same time. If we can be great for servers *and* for embedded systems *and* for desktops and laptops, so much the better. And being user-friendly to people who aren't sophisticated computer users is a useful goal to keep in mind, even if we never quite reach the level of distributions focusing solely on that, as long as it's an option and not a mode required across the whole distribution. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
