No. I'm not against it, but I'm not for it either. So long as Linux is there for me and can do what I want it to, I couldn't care less what the rest of the world uses. (I care very much about protocols, data file formats, etc., as those need to be standardized for the sake of interoperability, but what OS someone else uses to speak those protocols or create those files is of no interest to me.) > automatically configuring samba networking and including a Network > Neighborhood.

Would it really kill the average home user to have a 'Yes, I want to share files with Windows machines' checkbox and only turn on samba for those who are going to use it instead of just assuming that everyone wants it? -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
