i see the points, and i ack. netselect isn't the right way. I thought it's the right
way, cause it's easy, and it shows the 'possible' nearest server. Thats what we
have discussions for, or?

but i can't understand your point of following the crowd. Why do we support KDE?
all are doing this. There are so many things we do, what other distributions are
doing, too. Okay.. KDE is a very bad example, but there are other things and i
think all of us know these ones.

ic. thats why i have to acknowledge you and the others. It doesn't really
matter now, I don't care. I thougt it could be help or useful.

Perhaps there are other things we could optimize, like this thing i wrote
to the ml, some minutes ago "country based mirrors"
