<p> Planete Beranger has quite an extensive <a TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://beranger.org/feature/sorryfeature.php">piece</a> on the state of open source software. One thing that rattled some cages is the copyright notice for the article:</p>
<blockquote><p>LEGAL NOTICE: As an exception to the rest of the site, this article falls under the following specific legal terms: Copyright 2007 Radu-Cristian Fotescu and JEM Electronic Media, Inc. No reprints nor reposts without written permission from both copyright holders.</p></blockquote>
<p>But this shouldn&#8217;t hold anyone back in actually reading the arguments. For me it will have to wait until the next weekend, but I am curious.</p>

In essence there is only one question that needs to be answered: Is this distribution going to convince me to ditch Windows now!">Linux on the Bench</a>
