I think you have a serious case of tunnel vision.
|
|
<p>Linux is an enabler. It enables all sorts of people to use computers
|
|
for whatever they want, be it political action or pornography. What the
|
|
LDP is for is for documenting hardware and software issues so that people
|
|
can solve their own problems by themselves. As I suggest you do. Meanwhile,
|
|
we'll just concentrate on doing the best technical job we can, which is
|
|
at the heart of Linux and FSF. It's probably a foreign concept to you.
|
|
<p>The reason Linux is going to take over the world is that it has one
|
|
raison d'etre, and one only: be the best we can be. Bill Gates lost sight
|
|
of that, and it'll be his downfall.
|
|
<p>I applaud your desire to change the world, but Linux has been doing
|
|
it quietly and apolitically for years. Somehow I like correct better than
|
|
politically correct any day.
|
|
