My response to the LGPL/GPL at Gnome is simply to discontinue any Gnome based distro. The move to LGPL represents a gift to proprietary software folk. It is nothing less than the “Microsofting” of Linux.

Since Windows is “cheaper”, at least for me and even Apple is not prohibitively expensive, we’ll use KDE on a KDE based-distro until they also are turned by Microsoft.

Lame – don’t use Ubuntu as the base.

It is always a GOOD thing to use FOSS to give a leg up to proprietary software. Not only do the proprietary guys have all the money, they soon will also have all the code given to them on a platter.

The Microsofting of Linux is nearly completed.

That’s pretty cool Fedora 12 will include ‘System Rollback With Btrfs’

I’ll have to check out Linux Mint one of these days…
