Will, I'm agree with you. You have no idea about how many reactions cause choosing some colour for the background, something that is subjectr to objective reasons, and absolutely not personal feelings (that are not allowed while we talk in science of computing terms).<BR>

Dan, I never get tired of one thing. Lubuntu is official. That means the same obligations and responsability of other flavours. I was part of the OpenSuSE spins a long time ago and the "goverment" just changed from one environment to another. The core OS was the same. It seems, you're right, that Lubuntu may look as another thing, but I say again and again: it's just Ubuntu with another "makeup" (I hate using this word as an UI designer).<BR>
<BR>
I'd like to say to everybody in this mailing list one thing. The server which is bringing us the ability to discuss things about an OS, the apps it will include, the wallpaper we prefer, and another technical issues, many of times not fixed here, etc. I mean, most of the people who spends time here, doesn't code at all, because their are users, not coders. And the reason they came here is for improving, collaborating and transmitting their experiences and oppinion.<BR>
<BR>
So, I don't really understand why, some people, registers, puts their personal data, and follow a thread... just for trolling the others. That's why we need some rules. You may consider that we have a high degree of democracy here, too much sometimes, in the way that users opinion may change the way this OS goes. Every word or decision taken here usually is reflected on the member discussions and the Launchpad coding and packaging boards. I'm sure this doesn't happens in other platforms.<BR>
<BR>
For example, I'm at the artwork team, the founder (because I was the first one). I'm absolutely depending on Ubuntu Artwork Team and Design people from Canonical. And sometimes there's a crash between what people wants and what Canonical wants, and that is a very uncomfortable situation, sometimes solved with an e-mail from "upper spheres" against the people's choices.<BR>
<BR>
I just wanted you to know my opint of view. Thank you and sorry for this looong post.<BR>
