making deals with M$

I just read this article: http://boycottnovell.com/2008/06/07/ubuntu-remix-codecs/ I hope this is wrong or I will have to stop using ubuntu and find another distro to use. Such a shame... Hope you are all proud of yourselves. Mark -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists

Re: making deals with M$

I believe all you have to do is hit F6 at Ubuntu's install prompt to ensure "Free Software Only" on your computer. This installs only FOSS, and only enables "main" and "universe" repos. All of a sudden, any 'back room deals' are irrelevant. On Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 6:04 PM, Mark Fink <[EMAIL PROTEC
