- This is indeed unfortunate. Please reconsider. I will lose internet
- access in the not-to-distant future, and will want to avail myself of
- your services. Your release sounds like a good one -- I was planning
- on downloading it this week and maybe making it available here. :(

- As for my personal opinion, I would be delighted to see linux become
- widespread enough that commercial developers might consider porting
- applications to linux. Being able to get SimCity for X under linux
- would be extremely cool. For this to ever happen, a service such as
- yours will be needed to fill a valuable distribution niche. But then,
- there are probably those who would scream bloody murder if anyone
- actually tried to (gasp!) sell software which runs under linux.
-
- oh well, all the best.

- Jean.
