"antisemitic" Linux Mint [was: Re: Distro recommendation]

[Yehuda Deutsch]

I don't see an issue in clem's views, as long that it stays off the
community's ground.
His apology for mixing open source with politics is here:
https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=775

I have no idea if this will fuel or calm things, but there is an archived
talk sub-page on wikipedia on the subject:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Linux_Mint/Archive_Israel-Palestine_Controversy

I find mint to be very useful, both for "professional" and "home" users. I
tried ubuntu for a while, it left a bitterer taste than any other distro i
tried before.
