It doesn't matter if it gives linux a bad name because people like you, who know how to use linux the proper way won't use the distro. People like my mom will use the distro to give her an environment she understands, she doesn't have the time to learn how to use linux efficiently.
Anyways, my point is, is that people like my mom using linux doesn't hurt you at all (it hurts microsoft though) because you can choose not to use bloated code, or emacs or whatever you want. And the addition of these bloated programs won't cause fewer efficient programs to be made.
BTW I'd rather use the KDE notepad than either emacs or vi. I want to see an editor with the same functionality as Visual Studio (don't yell please, my poor ears).
you must be old like my grampa... Sure it uses up gas, but it's easier. Why would you want Linux to only be availible for computer geeks (I'm one). There's no reason why it shouldn't be easy to use for windows users. If you don't like the corel distro, don't install it. But don't complain about it allowing less computer literate users access to linux. Large companies don't harm to open source community either. If you are worried about them ripping you off with a closed source "extra features", don't buy it, then start an open source project which adds those same features (if you want them). btw, vi sux (personally opinion of course)

just wondering.
oh god, NO MORE sakura-chan! I've seen way too much of that for my own good. KENSHIN!
You're confusing communism with the effort governments take to control people, which happens in every society.
I'm so glad I'm canadian (except for the damn taxes)
btw, isn't china in a state where the rich get richer? And a lot of people are jobless?

You can download any of my music on MP3.com. And guess what, you don't have to support me, it's all completely free :P
