User Feedback :: Moving Forward - What's Your Desire?



Respect is something both earned and deserved, and when meeting for the first time, I give everyone 100% right of the bat. From then on, it rests on the individual concerned. Of course the Internet is the great equalizer, yet common courtesy is still high on my list of personal values, just as my mother taught me.

I took a good deal of time and effort in writing and re-writing my previous post so as to present my ideas with clarity and fairness, in response to "Moving Forward". I may well have failed to do that, but I find no place in such a forum topic for insults and sarcasm, I am no more a Linspire fanboy, than you are Bill Gates' Bum Boy! I feel like a politician that was deliberately misquoted or misunderstood, but those are my insecurities and shall remain my own as they equally have no place here on this thread.

So if I wasn't clear before.... I LIKE LINUX, I LOVE DSL!!!

I could download the current.iso, order a bunch of business card Cd's and setup my own little production line right here in Berlin, Germany. And nobody would know the difference, and even if you did, exactly how much money do you have in order to take me to court.

You see my point!

That is of course NOT what I want to do. What I want is to order from the DSL website multiples of let's say 100 Biz card Cd's, but at a reduced price. This will reduce profit, but increase turnover. Somehow I don't really think I need to explain this to you, you are, simply because of your presence here, intelligent people.

Who was it that said...

"If I met bill gates, we'd have nothing to say to each other. He couldn't teach me anything about computers, and I couldn't teach him anything about marketing!"

My post was based on the $1 challenge. I don't have a job and therefore have no money to simply give away. But still I would like to compensate the developers of DSL the best way I know how. And a little intelligent marketing could go a long, long way to helping Robert and the rest of the team in working full time. "And then imagine what could happen to our little Linux project!"

Robert! By way of showing my personal commitment, I will translate into German all texts sent to me, so that a German version of dsl can be released in the future.

I have no more to give... Take it or leave it!
Afaik gpl'd (v2) code can be (re)distributed any way you like... so I don't think you read the license properly?
About making things look like windows: they probably tried to copy others... (i.e. the app/taskbar on the bottom vs the top (macos) just to avoid problems, but it is ergonomically better to have it on the top... I set my *box this way heh...)
Anyways, I think this is getting off-topic.

John and his Company called Lizard Biscuit handle the store. I do not have anything to do with hardware items available in the DSL Store. That is a separate operation. You would need to contact John for anything regarding the store.

Have you seen this:

If you find additions or corrections please email to us.
If we need to support both new apps and old hardware but stay within size constraints , it sounds like a serious choice.
If the future is with the new , a purpose configured OLD version for old hardware ,needs to be identified as such.
with a large sticker/Flag  --Old Sytems Here--
and its hardware abilities sumarized and documented .


(Easy-USB-internet)
(Save files to USB-stick)
As to a choice so long as it works and I can find what I need,I'll leave it to the experts.

Thanks for all the great tools
it would be better to provide additional support for hard ware or applications in the form of extra mydsl apps so that DSL can be used for both old/new hard wares and also the basic goals of DSL are not affected.
