Hmm, sounds just like the gun industry here in the USA. People use your product in an illegal way? Well then, obviously its your fault somehow, so let's tax you, the source of a perfectly legal product, instead of going after the people who use it in illegal ways. Right.
When will the governments figure out that, from an economics standpoint, trying to cut the supply of an item in demand only increases demand? If a government decides that a certain product is eeeevil, why not work on cutting demand, and supply will go away on its own? Some people just have no business in the government. Oh well.
I seem to be the only person with any major complaint about COL 2.2, but I had major problems with the install. I have four completely different boxes at home that i tried the install on just to see if COL was any good, and I could not get it even through the install process... I tried on a Dell Dimension, a H-P something or another, a Toshiba laptop, and a cheapo E-machines celeron 366, and install didnt work a single time!
Guess what? You can use RPMs with more than just RedHat, so I guess the question here is, do you know what.rpm files are? "Had you done your research," you might accidentally discover that use can use RPMs with just about any distribution of Linux, INCLUDING your precious Debian. Additionally, why would you feel the need to attack someone with your "reply", instead of just posting helpful advice, if you had any? Oh, btw, why on earth would people not do something an easier way that would take less time "just because they're afraid of being called lazy"? Maybe next time you should think out your reply before submitting it...
just my 2 cents... personally, I think that in the world of linux, no standards are imposed on anyone. i use RPMs because they are convenient, not because i have to. i have seen plenty of things to download in.deb format, but that would require downloading something else to unarchive it, and im sure the majority of the people are just too lazy to do it.
