Well, looks as if I carried my joke too far. Yes; I do understand open source is free for all to use if any change that is made to the program is freely available to all. :-)Mike(-: \----- Original Message ----- From: Craig White Sent: 7/18/2004 12:24:00 AM To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: Re: LormaLinux On Sat, 2004-07-17 at 16:55, Michael Havens wrote: > Excuse my ignorance ---- it's not an easy thing to do. ---- > but am I correct in assuming that means that Red-Hat's apt-get is differant from Debian's apt-get? ---- apt-get is open source.

It is an 'extra' 2 - For virtually all purposes, it is the same as apt-get on Debian but as Derek pointed out about advanced features with apt-get, Debian has more functionality. Too bad you slept through it. 3 - You are inferring that Red Hat is deceptive. Not surprisingly, this stupid comment follows one a few days ago about the dark recesses that you place Red Hat. ---- > If DEbian was a company RedHat would have a messy lawsuit on their hands. Red Hat should have called it something else. 'dep-get' maybe. 'program-get' perhaps. 'wearedeceitfulscumbags-didwefoolyou' would work too! Or maybe 'debianisbetterthanussoweare-posers'. ---- This comment establishes you, Michael Havens as the most clueless individual that I have ever been introduced to on any Linux message base. Not only do you fail to understand the concept of Linux, the concepts of open source software, FSF, FOSS completely elude you and I shudder to think that you in your infinite stupidity are actually circulating through the world and telling someone/anyone that Linux is better than Windows. Since your right to post on this message base is equal to mine and I no longer wish to read the drivel that you post, I have made you my very first target of a procmail recipe targeted towards senders. # Michael Havens :0: * ^From_Michael Havens* /dev/null Craig --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spam or viruses.
