well, at last i know. that's the overall approach to grow the community by any means. which is about quantity, but not quality. so, there's too much attraction for people that want to be unlike the others, but can't motivate their choise in any other way. needless to say that they are doomed to be forever unhappy with their choise, since what they really want is another clone of win and/or mac way. and why do we need growing the community by any means? that's the most obvious way to show to the others that we're respectable too. but that's the dead end. and that's all. the next message will be what i like about linux audio as THE DIFFERENT approach (as i promised :))
