And, while this makes Debian a wonderful choice for all sorts of things, it means that Debian itself isn't a compelling desktop distribution. Instead, that's going to be left to derived distributions of one sort or another. Personally, I have no problem with this. But if Debian is unwilling to fill these (not terribly niche) requirements itself, it's not reasonable to complain when people build on Debian in order to provide a more complete solution for a more narrow use case. It's not possible to simultaneously believe that Debian's flexibility is what makes it worthwhile, and that the fact that other projects treat Debian as a supermarket is a bad thing. One or the other. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
