Greetings folks; As a staunch believer in Open Source in the form of linux, I've always wondered just where M$ would attack linux, and it appears they have found an ally and a willing vehicle in Novel, who I am told now owns gnome. I'll let the data in this link speak for itself. <http://boycottnovell.com/2008/02/15/mono-contamination-in-ubuntu/> And then offer the advice to TPTB in North Carolina, that some of the recipes given in that link be used to expung any and all references to .NET and mono from any distribution they can influence to do so including their own get. If that means functions go away until they are re-written from scratch, so be it. If we are reminded as to why occasionally, I suspect you will find the majority of us tolerant as long as the functions don't stay on the missing list forever. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
