No no no, it was the Plum coloured iMac.... I don't like the name because it's realtively long in comparison to Linux. That's my arguement with Freenix, it's a quick-to-say name. But I guess that's just spitting in a bitbucket... I guess if I got really ambitious (or bored) I could roll my own dist CDs and target them to a specific group, say, Windoze refugees. KDE, Mozilla, easier-to-use installer and a small book teaching basic and intermediate skills. The license would permit me to do this, right? -- dpilgrim@uswest.net ICQ: 29880099 gryph@mindless.com PGP DH/DSS key available If you're gonna build a house of cards, use the plastic coated kind Cuz I'll bet the homeowner's insurance won't cover flood damage To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
