OK Debian-laptoppers. I know you think our friend Adam is a troll.
But maybe not. Look. He likes Debian:
> You're talking about single releases, which Debian does very well.
He has a keen understanding of the organization:
> Debian is one of the better companies.
He has a deep grasp of netiquette:
> Just because I said it on a Debian list doesn't mean I was speaking
> specifically of Debian, ...
He's a fantastic programmer:
> I can hack the kernel ...
And he's an extremely important guy:
> Until you get me using Linux on all my computers, you won't get all
> the rest of the world;
Still, maybe if we chip in we can raise $50.00 and he'll go
whine elsewhere:
> [...] they simply have better things to do with their time and
> most will spend $50 to make all the Linux issues go away
> with Windows, as much as many of them dislike it.
Adam: It's ok. You don't have to use Debian on your laptop,
or Debian, or Linux, if you don't want to. I imagine the
time you've spent on the defensive here is worth over the
$50.00 you refered to. For the most part, the ones most
welcome in the community are the ones most willing to
contribute -- your complaints don't count as
"contribution". So, spend the money and get an OS you're
happier with, and chill on comp.os.w95 or wherever it is
like-minded folks hang out.
