Rene you are entitled to your opinion, and if you aren't
happy with Whitebox Enterprise Linux you are definately
welcome to switch to another distribution.

However, having said that I think I speak for all of the
other List members when I ask you and everyone else to stop posting non
whitebox linux related topics to this mailing list.

I personally use Fedora Core 1 on several systems, and I
also run Libranet 2.8.1 on my Laptop but I also think
Whitebox Linux is very useful and I have it installed on 2
systems at my home. I haven't posted much to this list, but
you can be sure I won't be posting questions relating to
fedora core 1 or libranet 2.8.1 to this list, nor will I be
shamelessly promoting them like you have been doing with
Eadem.

I hope I don't offend you with this post, but this is how I feel on the subject.

just my 2 cents on the subject.
