Of course it's ppl driving the car, it doesn't drive all by itself. Everybodys driving conditions are different, and you don't get a certificate that the car is suited for yours. Just imagine your certified windoze computer: Does the certificate name every piece of software and the version of the software, etc., you're allowed to run on it, and do you lose the warranty on your computer when you dare to run some software that's not specified on the certificate? It's ppl using computers and running software on them; computers don't run all by themselves, just like cars. Same is with refrigerators: You don't get a certificate telling you exactly which goods you may put into your fridge. But you expect your frigde to keep your goods cool, and if it doesn't, you return it. It's just a piece of hardware, and, again, it's that simple. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
