Me too, me too--ahem, I mean, I agree.
How do we start?
--
The person who asks the question (hopefully) does not know that it already has
been raised and answered, so it is up to the the person that gives the answer
to supply this info in his/her answer. Then it is up to the person who got help
to sumarize and report to the faq-machine.
In many cases, more than one answer is given and a discussion on the matter is
started, e.g. pros and cons with different solutions to the problem in
question. (Two recent examples are the treads about "moving to a bigger
harddisk" and "cloning a system")
I don't know if the FAQ-machine is the right place, but somewhere at debian.org
there should perhaps be room for successful stories on the theme "This is how I
did x with Debian version y", like the report on a winmodem the other day. I am
pretty new to linux (october-november 1999), and I have only experience from
Debian, so I really don't know what is Debian specific and what would be of
general interest to the Linux community. Perhaps more than I think.
