It was an experiment that failed mildly. It may come back in a different form, it may just die. There is not a "strike" going on, just a few disgruntled people airing laundry. Not unlike the issues with Gentoo, or OpenSUSE or Fedora Etch being release on April 2, 2007 (tentative per last nights announcements) is EONs ahead of Sarge's and Woody's release cycles. It'll only be about 4-5 months late. Consider less than 2 years for Etch. Sarge was HOW Long? And How long was Woody? I believe you'd have to go back to Slink to be only 4-5 months late. Or maybe farther back. Remember, Debian is a mostly Volunteer effort. Deadlines are for Marketing and Commercial driven things. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
