</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I believe getting FSF support for Mageia would be a huge boost for our

</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Can we commit to these guidelines?

Please NO! I have watched this ruin other Linux distributions when it comes to 
usability. Let's look at it from a community stand point and not some hippies 
agenda. Thanks.


+1 The ease of installing multimedia codecs and graphics card drivers is one of 
the things I have always loved about Mandriva.
