What about Fluxbuntu? I thought that distro's goal was to be lightweight and put little demand on system resources? In the article he mentions the distro, but instead draws a comparison between Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Lubuntu. What?

But now you are putting your own ethics on the concept of manipulation No kidding. That's the whole point of the parent post in the first place isn't it? He's asserting that manipulation, is self evidently wrong, that there is no justif

I think you're absolutely right about rglullis's methods here, they strike me as pretty slimy. I also find the whole To those who have objections to the choices: I did a copy-and-paste of PG's poll when he was deciding whether or not to b
