They need to get with the band wagon. Do not change GNU/Linux/trinity into be a "free windows". I don't understand all of this GNU/Linux has to work like windows. GNU/Linux is well GNU/Linux and windows is....well junk. A glorified games/virus lanuching platform. It that is what windows users wants, that's fine. I use GNU/Linux because I want GNU/Linux and not windows. > > This discussion is not about the merits of either option but which is best > as a default for new users. > > Please --- if you don't know what the "Smart" option does, then don't > speculate. :) > > Thanks much for your time! > > Darrell > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > trinity-devel-unsubscribe@...
