It's just a real shame that Tom Christiansen uses completely bogus statistics to prove his point: % LOC counts in Linux Suse! That's total nonsense. This completely kills his argument: it's not very honest to put stuff as gcc, gawk or GNU sed on the same level of usefulness as any other random utility which just happens to be included in Linux Suse (and God knows there are tons of such stuff). It doesn't take bogus statistics to answer to the FSF. -- Pierre Beyssac pb@enst.fr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
