[WBEL-users] WBEL Vs Centos ? :-S

[William Warren]

The lack of a respin does not make a distro worse than another. 
it is also interesting about your address which means you come 
onto this list and bash another distro in favor of one you are 
directly involved with.  This is fully unprofessional and IMO 
should exclude your distro from any consideration int he future 
until a fully apology for your behavior is made.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; 
and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou 
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, 
and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
