Dear debian users
I would like to draw your attention to certain ugly an unlinuxy comment
on the web site of a
Linux distribution about other distribution(s).
Quoting from
http://www.calderasystems.com/support/docs/2.3/gsg/introduce.html
Improved best-of-class package selection, with each Linux application
carefully chosen to be more useful and refined than the "everything but the
kitchen sink" products from some Linux packagers
Unquote.
This is an obvious reference to debian if not for others, which is the
largest distribution and include
most freely available packages. I strongly feel that this kind of comments
is very bad for Linux and
should be ripped in the bud itself and what is justfication for this when
the company seems to benefitting
from the works of millions of developers who test and 'robust'fy
applications that may have been called
toilet bowl applications in the near past.
Those Linux distributions should find a dramatic change of policy in
marketing rather than continuing
the Microsoft tradition, like what Linus D. Torvalds has done to the Open
Source movement.
Here customer is not King but an intimate friend. You would not try to
impress a friend by
accomplishments that are actually someone else's!
By the way, I would like you persuade fellow debian users/develepors who has
some connection with
India to actively promote the distribution in this country.
Thanking you
