What Linux^W distribution would you most like to see supported on a ThinkPad?

2007-09-12 Thread Thierry Thomas 
Lenovo is asking this at 
and, yes!, FreeBSD is a proposed choice.

ATM, the first choice is "Anyone that refuses to carry binary-only
drivers, so that all others will also benefit, as it will require
documented hardware", which is also a very good choice.

I always take "Linux" as a proxy for "Open-Source OS" in these type of polls.

I bet if it got a substantial showing in that poll more people would
start noticing things like the fact FreeBSD isn't a Linux distribution.

Maybe not may more -- but it'd be a step in the right direction.

It appears that anyone can add a new choice to the poll.
