Ubuntu and UserLinux to Combine?

Posted by timothy on Wednesday March 23, 2005 @06:48AM from the plenty-of-u-to-go-around dept.

An anonymous reader submits "With all the noise about Ubuntu, and no sarge release in sight, we haven't heard much from UserLinux in recent times. Even Bruce Perens has admitted that the "lack of a Debian release is becoming a critical problem". Now, Ubuntu has invited UserLinux to combine forces. More distro consolidation -- without a corporate buyout in sight!"

" You sir, stand among those who are a humiliation to the human race."

I don't know about you, but I'd have a hard time placing the parent in the category of 'human'

NO ANONYMOUS COWARDS and editors willing to boot the trolls off. CT has odd ideas that he shouldn't "censor" that way. My feeling is that refusal to provide someone with a podium is not censorship, they can go elsewhere and say whatever they want.

My feeling is that the presence of trolls is itself a form of censorship that penalizes intelligent discourse. I am not locking you out of the laundromat, there are 10,000 other outlets available through your browser. I'm just making sure that the shows put on in my theater are the highbrow ones.
