There was never a question of "if". The question is how wise is it to give a TIG welder to an eight year old and to tell him that he can build a hotrod. Or to give a scalpel to a six year old and to tell him that if his tummy hurts he can take out the hurting part. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
