The foolishness of such an attitude transcends even that. In RMS's world, for example, it would be preferable to go out and buy some piece of new hardware (say a camera or scanner with some custom interface) and have only Windows and possibly Macintosh support on the floppies provided with the kit, just as things are now. The user's best interests are sacrificed on the altar of RMS's vision of a perfect world where things are either done "correctly" or not at all. -Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
