Satire: “the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.”
I support binary drivers in the case of there is absolutely no alternative and it is an essential service (in my case wireless). Including binary drivers when there is a real chance to get AMD to open source the ATI drivers: asinine. Those who misunderstood my previous post, sorry I can’t help you. Let me also further clarify, that I think beryl / compiz is an awesome innovation, and I use it on some systems. Enabled by default, no, but if there is a nice little applet: rock on.

Then Ubuntu should only install binary drivers *if* it detects that there is hardware without an open source driver. There’s no reason for Ubuntu to pollute a computer if there are Free drivers available for all of the hardware.

Yes, that is what I just said.
