Vrms reports a number of packages on my systems; the ones that I use ("need") frequently are ilisp, mpg123, jdk1.1, scsh, and xanim. I have heard similar statements from other people who support the removal of non-free from the Debian archive. So who is it that fits your description? > [b] most of the people who advocate dumping non-free do not state how > dumping non-free is good for people who do have a need for some of it. It may not be good for them in the short term; I believe that it is good for them in the long term. Thomas
