We also sell livecd's. Further we have mirrors that distribute xfree and |
| 17 |
iso's that include xfree. As X is a quite necessary package we also |
| 18 |
cannot really remove it from the GRP package list either. In short, we |
| 19 |
have big problems with this too, although I agree that we are in a |
| 20 |
better position than binary distributions. |
