Because once you start adding in stuff like java, and flash, and other such things, you no longer have a free (as in speech) destro. One of the main things I like about Linux, is that it's free. I'm free to take the distro, alter it how I want, and use it to my hearts content. I don't have to agree to some silly useage statement, nor do I have to worry about making a copy of what I've done, and giving it to my friends. When you want to add non-free stuff to the distro, you lose your freedom. Maybe thats not so important to you, but it's important to me, and to a lot of people that I know and associate with. Freedom is just a bit more important than saving a few minutes on downloading the non-free stuff that you feel like using. Anywho, this isn't worth arguing over on a mailing list for support. -- Jesse Keating For Web Services and Linux Consulting, Visit --> j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
