[LUNI] General Opinion question..

[Michael P. O'Grady]

Unless someone is forcing you to use this version, I don't see an issue.

Personally, I don't have a problem with "self censorship".

Ubuntu Christian Edition.  It's a remap of Ubuntu, includes all the stuff
that comes with Ubuntu plus christian/bible software plus DansGuardian and
other web filtering products that block and sensor pornography and other
inappopriate material.

What does everyone think of that?  I find it slightly.. annoying and
disturbing to use something so open as Linux and OSS to put out a product
that's meant to censor.  Doesn't this go against much of the OSS
philosophy?

Is it just me misreading this?  I might be overthinking it, we've had a
philosophy geek meeting at the lug lately, I might be still in that mode.
