Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: GNU

Clay,

In slow moments we tend to fill in the gaps with harmless chatter. It helps
to get to know each other better. I have read lots on the net about Karmic
being a problematic release, but not many problems have showed up here.
Certainly no more than usual. There have been several other releases, too.
Mandriva and OpenSuSE had new releases and Fedora 12 comes out in a few
days. Life is good!

I heard a podcast (Ubuntu UK) this summer which featured a dentist who was
in the same predicament so he wrote his own application for dentists. I am
not suggesting that you do the same, but it is interesting how different
people tackle a problem.

This problem seems to echo Mark Shuttleworth's thoughts. He feels that free
and proprietary can coexist. People can and should be able to use whatever
they want. This is the opposite of RMS's view that there should only be free
software. Not much freedom in that.
