The excerpt below is not one dramatic instance. It's a sensationalist article from a publication which apparently hasn't read the LSB, hasn't read the discussion that went through debian-user and debian-devel, and is just trying to rile people up (LATE) to get readers. I'd suggest not reading LinuxFormat, if they can't be troubled to get things right. Check out http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200107/msg00071.html, for starters. > From: Miaoling Chiu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> I just received my September issue of LinuxFormat >> Magazine.
