LaRonn, Debian is not a company in any way, shape, or form. Debian is an association of individuals who have made common cause to create a free operating system; we don't make money out of it, we don't generally need a great deal of money outside of running costs like domain registration and hardware, we don't have shareholders, and we don't need a business plan in order to survive. Our entire reason for existence as an organization is developing and distributing an operating system which can be freely used, modified, and distributed, and for which the source is freely available to all. It sounds like you haven't read about the basics of Debian, so here's a link: http://www.debian.org/intro/about Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
