This thread is getting REALLY hard to follow. I suggest people start splitting it up or simply shut it down. This was my last post/read on this thread.
ps : does kita somewhat resemble the meaning of p.i.t.a ? then it's funny, otherwise it's confusing :)) -----Original Message----- From: David Raleigh Arnold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: woensdag 11 april 2001 17:53 To: Joris Lambrecht; 'Kevin Stokes'; debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. Joris Lambrecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To really start a fire here ... 1. In many new packages, maybe most, the developers just press on and don't pay attention to stable and unstable until they attain a version 1.x. What good is it to have a version 0.4 instead of 0.7 of anything in a "stable" distribution? Does "stable" have to be *so* old? Why not evaluate each package of pre-1.0 programs according to reality instead of policy? 2. It is unspeakable that I have to use Ctl-leftbutton when I have a 3-button mouse. It is *terrible* ergonomics. *All* non-windows developers, not just linux, should withdraw support for 1 and 2 button mice, and force those silly enough not to replace them (for $2.00) to use meta and ctrl combinations. 7 logical buttons, which is what you have with a 3-button mouse, should work without menus and configuration files or any such nonsense. I should be able to configure left handed, etc., with *one* program. You don't successfully compete with windows by mindlessly aping its *worst* features. It makes *every* program that works with a gui *much* less good and some really insane, like emacs. (and xemacs, presumably because X is pathetic that way too.) -- DaveA (Debian User)===================== The journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single KITA. =================
