I have to disagree... I feel very strongly that placing Linux in the hands
of shareware distribution houses would cheapen it. Have you actually ever
bought software from one of these places? I've _never_ gotten 'decent'
quality software. I don't, however, feel that this is the place to discuss
it. Email me for followups.
