The new Evil Empire is not RedHat. That's a mistake many of us have made. Debian will rue the day it got in bed with Corel. I predict Obergruppenfuhrer Cowpland will mount a full court legal press - and soon - to break the GPL. Corel doesn't give a farthing for Debian itself, the project and it goals. As far as Corel is concerned the dedicated folk who keep this wonderful distribution rolling along are just so many bright kids who "don't get it," and I suspect - at least as far as the last claim is concerned - that they are right. If you think things have changed around here in the past year or so with the advent of "Open Source," hang on to your hats; we're in for a real ride, and real soon, and it won't be nice to watch... -- Bob Bernstein http://members.home.net/ruptured-duck at Esmond, R.I., USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] "RMS's "curmudgeon-like" griping that he didn't like the term "Open Source" looked silly to many last year; it's not looking so dumb today..."
