After reading the article, I could not help but notice how spelling (do you
spell it "traveled" or "travelled", Webster versus Oxford?) sometimes is
old world versus new world.
Misunderstood spelling can potentially create an international incidence,

interestingly enough LinEx is a Debian based distro out of Spain.

If this was posted to uk.rec.motorcycles, I could see a suitable thrashing

LinEx can be found at:
