Hi, 


It is very sad that LFY doesnt get a clue of what Free Software all
about. See the article on 'IDE Tools for Linux'(April issue), it talks
of 6 IDE tools, only 2 of them are Free Software or even `open' source.
LFY ignored even the IDE from India, Anjuta. 

Now looking into CD. It comes with 5 OSs and two of them clearly
proprietary. CD says that all of them are Freeware no clear distinction.

Hope that LFY will correct the situation and clear distinction will be
made about Free and Proprietary softwares in GNU/Linux. Confusing
between Free and non-Free is worser than supporting proprietary.
software.
