Re: [gNewSense-users] PFV dates

[Chris Andrew]

Brian,

Being British, I prefer the existing date format.  The distro isn't
about me though, so I guess if the ISO standard is easier to use, and
people are happy for it to go that way, then it can be changed.

Does anyone have a preference, either way?

Many thanks,

Chris.
