Yes, Robert does think so, at least he did pick that name. And I support him.
Well, I was not addressing Robert himself, I was addressing the whole d-i team. Specially taking into account that the contents of the domain are now hosted in a Debian machine, I think it would be better if we could agree on a nicer name.

It depends on _how_ you say goodbye. And "goodbye-microsoft.com" does sound aggresive to me.

Maybe, but I've seen that d-i takes good care of always showing things to be "debian". That's why I mentioned it.

You might believe this. I don't think Microsoft believes the same thing though.
If the trademark holder feel offended, they are free to contact us.
Yes, well, I guess that they probably will, as soon as this site gets popular enough. However, due to the fact that this is now being hosted in a Debian machine, you might (or not) hurt the project in the meantime. I think this issue should be taken a little bit more seriously.
You are welcome to claim such doman name. Contact the creator of "goodbye-microsoft.com" before you start mirrorring.
I don't plan to start mirroring at all. I was just suggesting some domain names that might be better suited than "goodbye-microsoft" for the hosting of the Debian-Installer Loader for Windows, if you don't like them, that's ok. I actually think that get.debian.org is pretty cool, and that we should have it as a friendly page that lists the different ways of getting Debian, but that's another story. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
