Tom, that's irrelevant! I can cope with a linux malware but I can't cope with a third-party company disallowing me from booting _my own_ systems and I can't see any benefit in helping nor defending such restrictive position. To be sincere, I prefer my linux (or windows) computer got infected because of _my failure_ that being at the orders of a _third party_ :-/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
