Debian is still one of the world's best distros and I hope it continues as such. I use Debian on more systems than any other distro. Yet Debian makes it hard for people to help. Like most software engineers I simply don't have the time to waste on Debian's NM process. Debian's processes are indisputably Debian's decision alone, but Debian has to live with the consequences ... falling mindshare, orphaned packages, and slow releases. Nevertheless, non-DD's can and do help by filing bug reports and patches (upstream is best), helping people on d-u, and offering constructive advice to DDs. And one should not forget that most of the software in Debian is developed and maintained by non-DD's. --Mike Bird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
