Fedora has recently become more free. Fedora Extras (which accepts packages from non-Red Hat employees) is becoming more integrated into the main Fedora system. > The *users* of windows and the *users* of macosx are not the enemy > either.

Sure they should be made welcome. But they can be made welcome in a non-hostile way. Why not register change-linux.com and have it document how to convert between all the different distributions? If someone finds that Debian doesn't suit them then I welcome them to change to Fedora - they may change back later. Changing to Windows is however something we want to avoid. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://etbe.blogspot.com/ My Blog http://www.coker.com.au/sponsorship.html Sponsoring Free Software development -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
