Should Ubuntu include proprietary software?
,----[ Quote ]
| In a blog posting by Matthew Helmke, a
| member of the Ubuntu Forum Council, Helmke
| wrote, "We are trying to gather preferences
| for the apps that users would like to see
| in upcoming version of Ubuntu. While we all
| believe in the power of open source
| applications we are also very keen that
| users should get to choose the software
| they want to use. There are some great apps
| that aren't yet available to Ubuntu users
| and Canonical would like to know the
| priority that users would like to see
| them."
|
| Still, Ubuntu is hedging its bets. Helmke
| carefully spells out that "This is not
| about applications to be included by
| default, but merely things that we may
| attempt to make more easily available for
| Ubuntu users to install for themselves from
| official repositories."

ReactOS May Begin Heavily Using Wine Code
,----[ Quote ]
| While we don't normally talk much about
| ReactOS, the free software operating system
| that was started some twelve years ago to
| provide binary compatible with Windows NT,
| there is a new proposal to abandon much of
| its Win32 subsystem that has built up over
| the past decade and to create a new Windows
| subsystem that in large part is derived
| from Wine code.
