Yes, postings get read, by you by me, by people really contributing software as
well as testing it, and by real Mandrakesoft employees as well.
However, postings about needs for help--not bugs with new packages, get a heck
of a lot better response on the "expert" list. This list is about debugging
new software, mostly, and there are many here too polite to point out that
finding a package or getting install help is a bit off-topic.
Please do join the expert list and ask the same questions there. I believe you
will find the response friendly and helpful.
But on none of these lists does anyone have a right to an answer. If you ask a
question I cannot answer and I have time to do the research and I am in the
mood to learn something new, I may expend a lot of effort. OTOH if it is
something where I have never worked before and I would have to learn a whole
new body of knowledge (like configuring Squid when I don't even write HTML, for
example), chances are I will pass your question by.
Also I don't like to give sharp replies, say 'Read The Fine Material available',
or point out the obvious. There are plenty of people to do that.
