Comments on: Even Microsoft Uses Free Software, So Why Does Novell Harness Microsoft? http://techrights.org/2008/08/04/novell-harnesses-microsoft/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:00:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: aeshna23 http://techrights.org/2008/08/04/novell-harnesses-microsoft/comment-page-1/#comment-18066 aeshna23 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 02:31:26 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/2008/08/04/novell-harnesses-microsoft/#comment-18066 My favorite distro is Frugalware--which I had to reinstall today over some unfortuante NVidia issue (the unfortunate part is that I have a NVidia video card). After reinstalling, I started configuring my machine. I noticed a mono service, which I, of course, immediately disabled. I am wondering what a mono service does so that I can explain on the Frugalware forum about why good Linux distros shouldn't use mono. It's sad that I have to learn about mono just to argue for its death. I guess we have such evil so we can learn dumb things.
