Of course it's no Debian, it gives you a fresh desktop without apt trickery and 'experimental'. Seriously I like Debian, I used unstable for a few months (years of Mandrake before that), but unlike what some people would like to belive it really is unstable, and you are expected to fix deal with that. I switched to Ubuntu when Warty came out and have been very happy with it thanks to both Debian and Ubuntu developers.
This "you have to make yourself compatible with us" thinking on the other hand is pure arrogance. Imagine Gnome people complaining about the changes Ubntu makes to it (you are causing us a support nightmare or something like that). Debian has to accept that it's an upstream resource here, accept pacthes (or pull them as the case may be) and work on their own problems. I mean they have a release to do! You will have enough time to figure out how to live with Ubuntu after you have Sarge out of the door.
The whole point why Linus wants a distributed version control system is to get away from the email patches, so instead of getting emails like "Here's a path" he'd get "I have some changes ready, pull them from my repo". I think that if Linus adopts a free software distributed version control system the email patches will be done with.
The GPL does not allow to withdraw the "right to use". But you automaticly lose any privileges granted by the GPL (read distribution rights) if you break its terms.

So you group Gimp with the paint programs despite the fact that drawing circles is exactly the same in Gimp as what you just described (except for the tool names)?

Intel x86, AMD64 and PowerPC are one architecture!?

If your server lets your client edit older files (the history!) easly there's a problem with the server.
Linus has to like it.
I'd say it goes all the way back, think rumors.
One probably can, I was just clarifying the AC's point.
Grandparent was talking about platforms GCC hasn't been compiled on yet ands you have to bootstrap with the native compiler.
Too easy.

But phishing does not describe "faked e-mail scams", it describes real e-mail scams.
Compared to doctors and lawyers geeks are very clear.
Gnome programmers do.
Save the moondust!
Because all professionals need CMYK. Only amateurs do graphics for the web, games, etc.

Middle mouse button.
Gimp is not a god damned paint application, now open Inkscape and draw a cirlce.
Sorry, but most people simply can not definine what exactly they want.

In a forum there is no real difference between the first post in a thread and the others. In blogs the thread is started by a blog entry... like here.
