1) Bugs: since neither you nor I can really prove our points, we are, after all, only conveying our personal experiences, you position is as valid as mine. Where I would wholly agree with you is that (with the exception of the rather good 7.2) pre-9.x Mdks were buggy. Actually, what I noticed that it is wise to wait for a X.2 version (7.2, 8.2, 9.2 or now 10.2) before installing, the intermediate ones being, indeed, buggy. This is, however, a user's choice (to go bleeding edge or not). I only use x.2s.
2) Business model (yep, I did use the word "business" here because outside the USA business!=corporate): Mdk is, indeed, no less commercial than others, it is, however, less exclusively corporate oriented than say RH. Also, Mdk's execs have made it clear that they do commit themselves to freely releasing their apps and they have/are helping the development of free software. BTW, I was commending Mdk in my post, I was not saying about anyone else's committment, or lack thereof, to free software.
3) Flag-burning: ( is a narrow-minded, petty, inflamatory, and ultimately insubstantial argument, akin to saying "Mandrake is for Francophile, globalist apologist sycophants." I could also say the "patriot" remark is the product of an emotional, logically-challenged, self-congratulatory Trekkie). Your hysterics only make my point. Thanks!
